OneSAF Objective System

The OneSAF Objective System (OOS) is an entity-level simulation designed to represent the full spectrum of combat, combat support, and combat service support capabilities at the brigade level and below. OOS is poised to become an important tool both for soldier education and analytical purposes, evaluating force structures, equipment, doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures.Developed for thirteen distinct use-cases, the OOS standard interface offers the full-range functionality of the application. In one case, so-called human "pucksters" provide natural intelligence to issue high-level maneuver and fire orders to combat units in the simulation.While the full range of OOS functionality is available from the main program interface, for use-cases like pucksters, the complexity of the full interface presented a potential training requirement for new users. Accordingly, ICT was tasked with developing an intuitive, game-style interface for pucksters.Building on ICT's experience integrating military simulation with commercial rendering technologies, the OOS GUI project developed a proof-of-concept demonstration in 2004. Approved for production, the final product will be delivered in 2005.
