ACE-IOS Air Space and Cyber Constructive Environment Informaiton Operations Suite (ACE-IOS). Previously known as JQUAD.
ACE-IOS provides the Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) and construtive simulations for joint and service activities.
The essential elements of ACE-IOS are the Electronic Warfare (EW) Module, Command and Control (C2) Module, Network Module (JNETS), Sensor Module, Ground Game Module, JIOWC Virtual Editing Tool (JVET) and the interfaces to the Distributed Information Operations Constructive Environment (DICE) and Graphical Interactive Aggreagate Console (GIAC).
It provides constructive level training that is geared toward comatant commanders and staffs were the staff processes are the focus. It has distinct component models acting in concert (i.e., Air, Ground and Maritime). The modules connect together via central informaiton artery. ACE-IOS will snoop for relevant data and act upon it when appropriate. Information collection, battlefield information systems and EW are all being modeled.
Joint Data Translator (JDT) is a simulation to C4ISR interface for systems producing and receiving tactical situaltional awareness data. It produces IBS-I (TIBS), IBS-S (TDDS), TADIL A/B/J (GCCS, ADSI, C2PC), TRAP (ELINT), & OTH-GOLD data feeds. It parses any USMTF, JINTACCS, or special purpose formatted message and translates it into any other supported message format.
ACE-IOS binds a training federation together. This includes sensors (JTLS, AFSERS), C2 (AWSIM, VSTAR, RESA), EW (RJMT, TACSIM, CBS), Network (TADIL A/J), GG (JSAF, IBS-S, IBS-I, USMTF messages).
The products that ACE-IOS produce are:
- Electronic Order of Battle
- Air Breathing Sensors (RJ, U2, Global Hawk, Predator, EP-3)
- Fused National Sensors (SIGINT, IMINT, ELINT)
- GPS Guided PGM Degradation
- Fixed Target Adjudication via Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manual (JMEM)
- Common Operating Picture (COP) (TADIL, IBS-I (TIBS), IBS-S (TDDS), TRAP)
- USMTF ISR Reporting (TACELINT, TACREP, MISREP, IPIR)
- Fused and Unfused ELINT
- Interface Between Constructive and Virtual Simulations
- Stand Off and Self Protect Jamming
- Links & Nodes (Networks) with Cascading Effects
