The vision for DMO is to enable warfighters to train, mission rehearse, and operate in large Composite/Joint/Combined Force packages with horizontal and vertical integration in a distributed full-spectrum Live-Virtual-Constructive battlespace. Space assets are force multipliers across the spectrum of conflict and must be integrated into deliberate and crisis action planning, as well as operations planning, combat operations, and time sensitive targeting (TST) to ensure timeliness of effects. To fully exploit the air, space, and information realms across the full spectrum of engagement, warfighters should understand how the synergistic application of space based systems, air platforms, and C4I can achieve rapid dominance in all three arenas, and victory over adversaries.

A DMO-Space architecture is currently being implemented that will provide the ability to both train the space crews in a dynamic battlespace and realistically assess the impact of degraded space effects on warfighting capabilities. DMO-Space will also provide a capability to perform trades of space systems with terrestrial alternatives and future space concepts.

This paper will discuss the successes and challenges experienced in the development of a standard-based GPS jamming capability to support both distributed operational and tactical training events. The culmination of this effort is a GPS Jamming federation demonstration which implements the updated FOM and interoperability standards necessary for implementation of a real-time, high-fidelity, GPS jamming capability. Discussion will include the impact of both JNTC and DMT training needs on battlespace fidelity and content as well as the rationale for the design decisions that were made in defining the GPS Jamming federation and associated Federation Agreements/Standards. The paper will conclude with a discussion of the potential for use of other space capabilities to support enhanced warfighter training.
