Mission
One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) reduces duplication of Army Modeling and Simulation (M&S) and other government agencies’ investments, fosters interoperability and reuse across M&S communities, and meets the M&S requirements of the future force.
Vision
To satisfy all U.S. Army M&S community and other government agencies’ needs for a common, reusable, computer-generated (ground) forces entity-level simulation.
Description
OneSAF represents a full range of operations, systems and control processes in support of simulation applications across the six Army Modeling and Simulation (M&S) communities: Acquisition, Analysis, Experimentation, Intelligence, Training, and Test and Evaluation. OneSAF program office develops capabilities in accordance with the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Project Office approved requirements and distributes relevant releases on an annual basis for continued support to the six M&S communities, to include 200+ users both CONUS and OCONUS.
OneSAF has a variable level of fidelity that supports requirements across Army modeling and simulation (M&S) domains. OneSAF provides source code to a wide range of countries, Services, PEOs, PMs and various Army organizations to utilize and meet their mission requirements.
OneSAF provides its baseline as open source, with a wide range of capabilities. Partners can thus leverage, extend, and benefit the entire U.S. and international user communities using OneSAF for training, research and development, experimentation, and analysis. There is significant and potential room for improvement via collaborative agreements and Data Exchange Annexes to improve both simulation and operational interoperability and commonality across various communities. OneSAF is being used by Research, Development, and Engineering Command, The Research and Analysis Center and Battle Labs to execute many current Army analytical studies and experimentation activities. These activities range from operational relevancy changes for current systems to future systems requirements.
The open-source nature of OneSAF allows external users to extend, adapt and enhance the software as needed to meet their mission requirements. On a yearly basis OneSAF integrates approximately 30+ new capabilities developed by external and internal co-developers. OneSAF’s open-source model does not charge a license fee for the use of the software.
Benefit to the Warfighter
OneSAF eliminates the need for multiple simulation tools across analysis, experimentation, test and evaluation, training, intelligence, and acquisition modeling and simulation communities and provides a transparent training environment for today’s commanders and their battle staffs by utilizing current Mission Command Systems.
