Battle Management Language - Coalition Battle Management Language

Coalition Battle Management Language (C-BML, CBML) is under standardization by Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization in the C-BML Product Development Group. C-BML is an unambiguous language to describe a commander’s intent, to be understood by both live forces and automated systems, for simulated and real world operations. The resulting language is intended to be applicable not only to simulation systems, but also to operational command and control systems, and robotic systems. Within the last three years, multiple papers presented at the Simulation Interoperability Workshops (SIW) have dealt with the need for, and initial work in, Modeling & Simulation (M&S) to Command and Control (C2) Interoperability based on the use of unambiguous mission and task definitions. During the Spring 2004 SIW, a meeting of subject matter experts determined that a detailed evaluation of BML efforts at a Coalition level is necessary and subsequently drafted Terms of Reference (TOR) for a Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) Study Group. The TOR for the Coalition BML (C-BML) Study Group was accepted by the SISO Standards Activity Committee and identifies the following tasks:

• The Study Group shall conduct a Survey comprising as many international contributions applicable to the Coalition BML effort as possible.

• The Study Group shall develop a plan for how these various efforts can contribute to a common Coalition BML specification within a methodological framework.

• The Study Group shall formulate a set of Recommendations for a Coalition BML Product Development Group (PDG).

The Coalition BML Study Group was subsequently formed in September 2004 to address these tasks. The Study Group has conducted a number of face-to-face and teleconference meetings through the year since the Fall 2004 SIW, involving a membership of over 100 persons from 11 different countries.

The 6 April 2006 A SISO C-BML Product Development Group was constituated at Spring SIW 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words battle, management and/or language:

    I remember the scenes of battle in which we stood together. I remember especially that broad and deep grave at the foot of the Resaca hill where we left those gallant comrades who fell in that desperate charge. I remember, through it all, the gallantry, devotion and steadfastness, the high-set patriotism you always exhibited.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    It’s not that we want the political jobs themselves ... but they seem to be the only language the men understand. We don’t really want these $200 a year jobs. But the average man doesn’t understand working for a cause.
    Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)
