Welcome to the 2nd Urban Operations Conference in Berlin! In February 2012 the Center for Studies and Conferences of the German Association for Defence Technolo-gies (DWT) held the 1st Urban Operations Conference and launched within the DWT community an intensive discourse on all aspects of urban operations which is indeed an important factor in training and fighting of modern armed forces. Operations all over the world during the past decade and recent developments have proven the importance of urban operations as part of traditional and asymmetric warfighting.

In order to maintain peace and to be prepared to restore stability, politicians, the military and the industry have to study new developments in all fields of military affairs. Therefore it was logic to all of us to continue the information exchange and the dis-cussion on main aspects of urban operations. The 2nd Urban Operations Conference will address fundamental and conceptual subjects of urban operations and specific top-ics: situational awareness, reconnaissance, modern effectors and education & training in plenary session. These topics will be discussed and much more details in several panel sessions. This set up will offer the participants of more than 40 countries the possibility to focus on those topics in which they are inter-ested most. The German Association For Defence Technologies is looking forward to offer an essential exchange of information and fruitful discussions to all of you! Major General (ret.) Wolfgang F. Döring Managing Director DWT

Preamble of the German Association for Defence Technology (DWT)Preamble of the German Association for Defence Technology (DWT)Preamble of the German Association for Defence Technology (DWT)

Ladies and gentlemen, The German Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center is one of the agencies hosting the "2nd International Urban Operations Conference". In my capacity as chairman of the conference I would like to welcome you to this event. In my eyes, your participation sends a clear signal emphasising the high-profile nature of this event. The overall trend of urbanisation worldwide is undeniable. The developments over the last almost 25 years

forces the military to approach this kind of environment more systematically: First, the adversary deliberately chooses to draw the fight into an urban environment as a way to gain an advantage while using his superior knowledge of the location. This is most likely an asymmetrical opponent consisting either of regular forces or of so-called “irregulars” in order to compensate for a lack of numbers and/or quality of equipment. Secondly, the main characteristics of any urban space are its particular infrastructure and the presence of an urban population. The build-up of manmade structures alone leads to short distances between them in general and to an omnidirectional threat scenario considering the three-dimensional nature of urban settlements, in many cases also complemented by a fourth dimen-sion underneath the surface. These characteristics are normally superimposed with the lifelines of a city or town guaranteeing its proper functioning. Thirdly, the roles of the military in an urban environment according to the theory of the “three-block-operations” also correlate mainly with one or more of the three components: the adversary, the terrain and infrastructure, and finally the urban population. The three roles are those of a fighting force, a stabilisation force and finally an assistance force. Fourthly, the mandatory elements of any military effort and their systematic combination in accordance with our new “Bundeswehr concept”, dated 1 July 2013, are: command and control, reconnaissance, effects and support. The function of command and control has to apply our mission command principle even more consequently than usual. With regard to recon-naissance as a military function the main effort has to be the provision of timely and actionable intelligence: this means focusing on the processes which convert the data into full situational awareness for tactical leaders and providing them with the holistic knowledge. As far as effects are concerned, they have to cover the entire spectrum ranging from lethal to less- and non-lethal actions and means to the exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum. This “Second International Urban Operations Conference” provides a platform for national and international exchange on urban operations with the main topics: situational awareness, reconnaissance, modern effectors and training. I hope it will provide all participants with a lot of useful input, information and discussions. Major General Erhard Drews Commander, Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center

Amt für Heeresentwicklung German Army Conceptes and Capabilities Development Center

Am 27. Juni 2013 wurde das Amt für Heeresentwicklung offiziell in Dienst gestellt und gehört somit zu den jüngsten Dienststel-len des Deutschen Heeres. Nach den Vorgaben des Kommandos Heer zeichnet es für die Weiterentwicklung von Konzeption, Ausbildung, Organisation und Materialplanung des Heeres verantwortlich. Viele Aufgaben des im Zuge der Neuausrichtung des Heeres aufgelösten Heeresamtes wurden in das Amt für Heeresentwicklung in angepasster Form überführt. Gleichwohl ist das Amt für Heeresentwicklung ein komplett neues Amt und steht damit nicht in der direkten Nachfolge des 57 Jahre in Köln behei-mateten Heeresamtes. Lediglich das Motto des Heeresamtes „Die Zukunft im Visier“ wurde eins zu eins durch das Amt für Heeresentwicklung übernommen, weil es für dieses in ganz besonderem Maße zutrifft. Denn hier werden alle konzeptionellen Grundlagenarbeiten für die Weiterentwicklung der Fähigkeiten des Heeres in den Bereichen Konzepte, Ausbildung, Organisa-tion/Struktur und materielle Ausstattung in einer Hand zusammengeführt. Ursprünglich weit verzweigte Verantwortlichkeiten werden damit künftig im Amt für Heeresentwicklung gebündelt. Ein Novum im Deutschen Heer ist auch, dass im Amt truppen-gattungsspezifische Aspekte mit der heeresübergreifenden Sicht in einer Matrixorganisation verwoben sind. Zur Wahrnehmung seiner vielfältigen Aufgaben besteht das Amt für Heeresentwicklung aus den vier Abteilungen Grundlagen/Querschnitt, Weiter-entwicklung Kampf, Weiterentwicklung Aufklärung/Unterstützung sowie Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (C-IED). In der Zielstruktur werden im Amt für Heeresentwicklung 679 Soldatinnen und Soldaten sowie 41 zivile Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter für die Zukunft des Heeres arbeiten. Für alle Angehörigen des Amtes für Heeresentwicklung ist es Anspruch und Verpflichtung zugleich, einen wesentlichen und nicht wegzudenkenden Beitrag für die Einsatzfähigkeit des Deutschen Heeres zu leisten. Denn die Zukunft des Deutschen Heeres ist der Maßstab, an dem alle Überlegungen zur Entwicklung der Strukturen des Heeres auszurichten sind.

www.deutschesheer.de Behörden Spiegel

Der Behörden Spiegel ist mit einer Druckauflage von 104.000 monatlich und einer verbreiteten Auflage von 99.745 Exemplaren (1. Quartal 2014 IVW-geprüft) die auflagenstärkste unabhängige Zeitung für den Öffentlichen Dienst in Deutschland. Der Ver-trieb der Zeitschrift findet über den Postversand und über den Behördenweg statt, aber auch im Zeitschriftenhandel kann man den Behörden Spiegel erwerben. Hinzu kommen Einzel- sowie Sammelabonnements (Abnahme hoher Stückzahlen), die den Vertrieb bei großen Behördenstrukturen garantieren. Neben der Bundeshauptstadt Berlin sind Bonn, die 16 Landeshauptstädte und letztlich jede Kommune und jeder Landkreis Zielpunkte des Vertriebs. Da der Großteil der Auflage direkt in den Dienststel-len zugestellt wird, erreichen die Informationen des Behörden Spiegel die Leser am Dienstort und zur Dienstzeit direkt. Bundes-, Landes- und Kommunalbehörden bilden die drei Vertriebssäulen des Behörden Spiegel. Neben den Abonnenten aus dem Öffentlichen Dienst gehören aber auch die Wirtschaftsverbände, die ausländischen Missionen, Berufsverbände und Gewerkschaften des Öffentlichen Dienstes sowie Industrievertretungen zu den regelmäßigen Lesern. Zahlreiche Städte haben eine verdichtete Verbreitung des Behörden Spiegel, nämlich dort, wo obere Bundes- und Landesbehörden oder zentrale be-hördliche Einrichtungen sitzen. Beispiele für Sammelabonnement-Empfänger sind das Robert-Koch-Institut in Berlin, das Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr in Koblenz, das Bundesverwaltungsamt in Köln, das Bundeskriminalamt in Wiesbaden, die Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin in Dortmund, der Deutsche Wet-terdienst in Offenbach, das Luftfahrt-Bundesamt in Braunschweig, das Bundespolizeipräsidium in Potsdam oder die in Bonn verbliebenen Ministerien. Die Themen aus der Kommunalverwaltung und den kommunalen Eigenbetrieben sowie über outgesourcte Aufgaben der öf-fentlichen Hände bilden weitere Schwerpunkte der Berichterstattung des Behörden Spiegel. So gehören denn die Leitungsmi-tarbeiter aus den 12.000 Kommunal- und Kreisverwaltungen in Deutschland zu den Lesern dieser Fachzeitung für den Öf-fentlichen Dienst. Die Zeitung mit aktuellen Informationen und Berichten aus Bereichen der Behörden, von der Kommune bis zur Bundesverwaltung, erreicht die wichtigsten Entscheidungsträger auf Kommunal-, Landes- und Bundesebene, inklusive der Mandatsträger aus allen politischen Entscheidungsbereichen. Ein Online-Portal, das Artikel aus dem Behörden Spiegel mit weiterem Hintergrundmaterial ergänzt, sowie die beiden wöchentlichen Newsletter (E-Government/ITK; Sicherheit) stärken die Community-Bildung durch das Leitmedium Behörden Spiegel für den Öffentlichen Dienst zusätzlich. Im Wirtschaftsteil des Be-hörden Spiegel, Beschaffung, werden aktuelle Themen aus dem Vergaberecht erörtert, gleichzeitig Best Practice-Beispiele vorgestellt, und es wird über neue Produkte und Dienstleistungen informiert. Darüber hinaus gibt es jeden Monat ausgesuchte Schwerpunktthemen, die Sie in der ausführlichen Themenliste finden, die einen Gesamtüberblick über die Einzelthemen von Januar bis Dezember gibt. Community-Building ist dem Behörden Spiegel in über 25 Jahren gelungen – die Behörden Zeitung. Die Reichweite einer Tageszeitung – den Fokus einer Fachzeitschrift!

IABG

We are a closely networked business group and offer integrated, future-oriented solutions in the sectors Automotive | InfoCom | Mobility, Energy & Environment | Aeronautics | Space | Defence & Security. We understand the requirements of our customers and support them independently and competently. We implement effectively, efficiently and with target orientation. We operate reliably and sustainably. Defence & Security Since its establishment, the defence and security division has been specifically committed to the armed forces and their pro-curement projects. Today, we support the German Federal Armed Forces in their transformation process. Our experience of over 50 years and independence from manufacturers or products have made us a unique service provider in sensitive fields. We link mission experience and operational know-how with proven scientific capabilities and support our customers in the do-mains of: Joint | Air and Space | Integrated Air & Missile Defence | Land | Maritime | Cyber With our services we accompany our national and international customers in the sense of a “whole lifecycle support” within the segments of: Capability management | Services & operation support For this, we provide smart tools and tailored simulations & testbeds. We are a renowned technical supplier both at national and international level when it comes to conceptual design of solutions, support of development and realisation projects, and the provision of services. Urban Operations (UrbanOps) Urban Operations put high demands on the capabilities of the forces involved, particularly through an inherently social and infra-structural complexity. Potential opponents will probably try to face technological, structural and functional disadvantages with asymmetric warfare. Typical means of this might be the use of the civilian population and infrastructure as a human or protective shield and taking advantage of the reduced efficiency of coalition weapon and reconnaissance systems. Either the derivation of essential capabilities of own troops and the mission support of such forces in a real deployment must address these characteris-tics. We create 3D-Models of the mission scenarios which are geometrically highly accurate and offer much additional benefit through functionalities, property attributes and social information. These high-fidelity descriptions are provided in such a way that one can handle dynamics of the model and make use of it in different applications. We determine and scrutinize the capabilities of own troops in respect of UrbanOps by the use of simulation systems and valid mission scenarios. Possible issues are e.g. the effects caused by different equipment, force structure and tactics on mission success. We offer a full package of planning and analyses tools to effectively support the preparation of a mission (e.g. a convoy or pa-trol, the construction of a base, evacuation and rescue operations) and the selection of the best suitable weapon system out of several available systems against a threat in urban terrain (e.g. Joint Fires, Threat Evaluation and Weapon Assignment). Thereby we lay special focus on the avoidance of destructions and/or damages of mission critical, structural, and collateral com-ponents due to conventional weapon engagements in urban scenarios. Simulation based training is an additional service which we provide for our national and international partners. We cover the whole simulation spectrum, with experience in the requirements analysis, design, development, implementation, and operation

16




of live, virtual, and constructive simulation systems. This is combined with our expertise in the support of training and exercises, including training needs analysis, concept development, execution, operational and technical support, evaluation, as well as consultancy during all project phases. We are the leading provider of analyses and scrutiny of protection technologies through the IABG Competence Center “Protection and Weapon Effects” and have been a reliable and capable partner for both governmental and industrial customers. Due to our longtime experience, our highly-qualified staff and (purpose-built) test rigs we are the leading experts in the field of the assessment of active and passive protection technology and systems, especially for military and other armored vehicles.

Microflown AVISA

Microflown AVISA BV develops highly accurate and reliable gunshot and artillery localization systems for fixed and mobile in-stallation as well as for protection of vehicles, fast boats, helicopters and UAVs. The core technology is called “Acoustic Vector Sensor” which is unique since it can locate on the one hand impulsive small arms fire (SAF) as well as rockets, artillery and mortars (RAM) and on the other hand tonal sound sources like ground vehicles, low flying aircrafts, UAVs and helicopters. This is the big difference in contrast to traditional microphone arrays that are known for their huge dimensions, difficult logistics ba-sed on necessary wiring and transportation and its lack of flexibility due to the dedication of one microphone system type per battlefield threat. Typical microphone array dimensions range from 20 cm for high frequency events such as gunshots to 25 meters for long range artillery localization, whereas an AVS covers with a fixed size of just a few centimeters the complete fre-quency range of all battlefield threats.

Abstracts of the Plenary Programme (chronological)Abstracts of the Plenary Programme (chronological)Abstracts of the Plenary Programme (chronological)

Land Forces in the Urban Environment Brigadier General Bob Bruce, Director Combat Army HQ (MoD UK) Brigadier Bruce’s presentation will describe the British Army’s latest thinking on land operations in the urban environment, in-cluding its operational approach. The presentation will look at historical and recent operational experience as well as an analysis of current trends and conceptual thinking. The presentation will start by examining the urban challenge at the strategic, operational and tactical levels, and covering the environment as well as potential adversaries. It will then draw out the implications for land forces and the requirement they gen-erate, whilst comparing these to our historical and recent operational experience. It will highlight priority areas for capability development. Finally it will describe the British Army’s operational approach for future land operations in the urban environment. The presentation will conclude that urban is one of many environments that land forces have to succeed in, and that training is likely to be more important to success than bespoke equipment. Furthermore, while the urban challenge is getting more com-plex, it is not new; the population will be the vital ground, but that is not a new concept either. The application of mass through manoeuvre will be key to success and to avoiding attritional battles, and this will be driven by understanding. Finally the battle-winning idea is likely to be as dependent on a balance of intelligent partnering with properly supported local security forces, as forging a workable coalition amongst aligned international partners.

Fundamentals of Urban Operations Colonel (GS) Norbert Dreschke, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center The worldwide process of urbanisation has already led to a change from rural to urban societies, which has also affected mili-tary operations. The most recent military operations took place in urban terrain. The levels of intensity in such operations range from low to high intensity and can change suddenly. Furthermore, adversaries fighting asymmetrically benefit from urban environments. In future, symmetric warfare cannot be ruled out but currently it seems less likely. As a matter of fact: future scenarios with a reduced number of forces in extensive urban terrain will constitute a major challenge for all actors – including the Army, and we should be prepared for it. Fundamentals of Urban Operations provides an overview of the environment, infrastructure, population, adversaries and interdependencies. Although military solutions are only part of an interagency approach, military answers at tactical level are given. Baseline documents on UO and current developments will sum up the presentation.

British Urban Doctrine Development Major Andrew Field, Tactical Doctrine Development B, UK Directorate of Land Warfare Major Field’s short presentation will examine why the British Army is revising its urban doctrine and concentrate on the chal-lenges it is facing in doing this. After a brief introduction covering the rationale behind the revision, the main body of the presentation will look at the key urban issues, new concepts and requirements that are being considered to best prepare the British Army for the considerable chal-lenges posed by the contemporary urban battlefield.

Geoinformation Support for Urban Operations Brigadier General Roland Brunner, Commander, Bundeswehr Geoinformation Center In an urban battle-space it is almost inevitable that civilians will be affected by military operations. Therefore these operations require a continuously increasing level of precision. There is a plethora of different urban environments, thus, various require-ments for urban Geoinformation such as detailed 3D models for military operations in urban terrain are popping up. The integration and combination of geospatial and environmental information from different sources, sensors or databases into the Recognized Environmental Picture (REP) is a key factor for operations in urban terrain. Ever-shorter innovation cycles, especially in information technology, lead to accelerated developments to improve the capabili-ties of the Bundeswehr Geoinformation Service (BGIS). BGIS is tasked, to provide support services for the warfighter through-out eighteen entirely different geo-related sciences. Here, interoperability is paramount. These innovations lead at the same time to new challenges that have to be addressed in order to fully exploit the possibilities of geospatial support in Urban Operations.

Situational Awareness in Urban Operations Colonel (GS) Christian Brandes, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center In complex situations with various intensities for ground missions in urban terrain, information and our way to deal with it gets more and more important. The presentation outlines a definition of Situational Awareness (SA) and how SA can be described in a military context. The presentation summarizes short scientific aspects of the Chief Scientist of the U.S. Air Force, Dr. Mica R. Endsley, and out-lines a way to understand information as a resource and needed information as a more or less rare resource. Also differences between push- and pull information and how troops can successfully deal with information as contribution to modern battlefields is described. Main focus of the presentation is the question how a high situational awareness can be achieved even in combat situations and under changing and multiple side effects. The Session Leader will develop ideas how dismounted soldiers in the 21st century can solve the challenges of urban opera-tions and how situational awareness can lead to a successful mission.

Reconnaissance in Urban Operations Colonel (GS) Harald Einzinger, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center The lecture will discuss that operations in urban environment require not only a physical but also a cognitive operational picture. The military intelligence and ISR systems carry out the groundwork for planning and conducting urban operations by establish-ing and maintaining information superiority in urban environments. As a matter of principle, the processes followed by ISR forces within the military Intelligence system, i.e. ISR assets employed in urban environments, are not different from those in other operations. They are, however, exposed to much more complex and more dynamic influencing factors which require reconnaissance forces to have particular capabilities. The complexity, the scope and the ephemeral nature of information required in urban operations as well as satisfying it comprehensively and at the appro-priate levels constitute particular challenges to ISR forces. To meet these challenges, ISR forces use their scout-, radar- and long range reconnaissance capabilities, dismounted light reconnaissance, field Human Intelligence (HUMINT) forces and Un-manned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and the fusion with all-arms- and combat reconnaissance results to create a holistic, near-real-time and level-appropriate operational picture for the military leader in accordance with the Intelligence Collection Plan ICP. In summary, the requirements for further conformist development of the already available ISR capabilities following the growing importance of HUMINT, biometrics, redundancy of information systems, data transmission and communication and also 3D digital mapping and precise positioning will become evident.

Vulnerability and resilience assessment of urban areas Kai Fischer, Fraunhofer Ernst Mach Institute A steadily increasing number of the world’s population is living in urban centers. The growing population density and also the existence of critical infrastructure has a lasting effect on the vulnerability of a city. A further fact is the formation of new threats. Cities are increasingly vulnerable to three kinds of disasters: - Natural threats as a result of the climate change, - Technogenic which results from human error or failing infrastructure and - Terrorism, a growing and important asymmetric threat. Hence there is a need to evaluate possible hazardous events and assess expected losses. A comprehensive risk, vulnerability and resilience approach is developed which allows an identification of weak spots in urban areas and builds the basis for en-hancement of safety and security measures. The application of this approach can be used to make systematic decisions for optimization of performance targets, e.g. collapse and life safety or the length of downtime. In a first step an interdisciplinary literature survey is carried out to get an overview concerning this topic. The results show which keywords are used and how they are defined and linked in the context of hazardous events and urban areas. In this contribution an exemplary application for terroristic threats in urban areas is presented with orientation to established assessment schemes. Validated engineering tools are used to quantify threats, risk and vulnerability as basis for resilience of urban areas.

Modern Effectors in Urban Operations Colonel (GS) Jörg Neureuther, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center In order to combat an asymmetric opponent in an urban environment, all while protecting the civilian population and infrastruc-ture to the maximum extent possible, the military has to simultaneously act as a fighting force as well as in a stabilization and an assistance role. This requires a variety of modern effectors ranging from the creation of lethal, mainly kinetic effects via less-lethal and non-lethal effects all the way to the use of logistics and services. While these three types of effectors aim at creating favorable conditions mainly in the physical domain of an urban setting, com-munication operations as a fourth category are designed to shape the cognitive domain by influencing the information environ-ment. Starting with the overarching “Concept of the Bundeswehr” as of July 2013, this introduction to Session D of the conference specifies the requirements for modern effectors by elaborating some of the criteria from the emerging set of sub-concepts of engagement and effects, first of all the “Sub-Concept: Effects on Land”. The corresponding operational design aims at integrating direct and indirect, lethal and non-lethal, physical and psychological effects in a holistic fashion. Besides the adaptation of already existing capabilities specifically for their use in an urban setting, the further development of technologies such as laser and unmanned systems is currently of particular interest for the German Army.

Urban Combat - Reports of a Bataillon Commander Colonel Mark Kenyon, Assistant Director Warfare, UK Directorate of Land Warfare Colonel Kenyon will reflect on his experience as a United Kingdom Battlegroup Commander in Basra during Operation TELIC 9 in 2007. During one of the most intense periods of the conflict, his armoured infantry battlegroup conducted some 70 night time raids into Basra, mostly in contact with the enemy, in order to disrupt or defeat the local Jaish Al Madhi leadership. Lessons and insights from these operations continue to have relevance today, including the requirement to find and fix ones adversary before rapidly concentrating force, preferably from an unexpected direction, (not always easy in populated urban terrain), main-taining momentum, avoiding an attritional fight, out thinking a thinking enemy and always have a number of contingency plans. The difference close support from the air makes and the opportunities presented by working alongside and ultimately in support of indigenous forces will also be explored. Colonel Kenyon will conclude with a few remarks about his experiences on Opera-tion TELIC 2, also in Basra, where opportunities to fill the security vacuum and win consent in the immediate post conflict period were sometimes apparent, but not always taken.

Education & Training in Urban Operations Colonel (GS) Jesko Peldszus, DEU Army Training Command The introductory briefing for session E is touching the fundamentals of training in the complex scenario of an urban environ-ment. Setting the appropriate mindset for the military leaders of all levels is as important as the conduct and the content of the different training events at the different levels of training itself. In achieving operational or even strategic objectives as gaining control of political power, communications, industrial resources, public services and most importantly the public support individ-ual and unit training will have to concentrate on the hard facts on the ground. The leaders in particular will have to take elements as the behavior of the inhabitants, the urban environment, the density of the terrain and the opportunities of the adversary to conceal his activities in that environment during preparation and conduct of urban operations into account. The influence of modern media and perception as even more important aspect than information has to be reflected in the training events as well as in the general aspect of educating military leaders. The training will subsequently have to address these scenarios. Elements of training officers, NCOs and units will be addressed as an introduction of the panel topics. The approach of the Ger-man Army is used as an example of what can be done in the future or even exists today. Suitable and flexible capabilities in terms of simulation and training infrastructure will also play an important role in conducting training for urban operations.

Abstracts of Panel Session I: Command & ControlAbstracts of Panel Session I: Command & ControlAbstracts of Panel Session I: Command & Control

Command & Control in Urban Operations Lieutenant Colonel Klaus Jürgen Andersch, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center Starting with analyzing the conditions of a “megacity”, the presentation will first point out the particular features of a city as an operational environment. The differences to the “usual” battlefield have a significant impact on Urban Operations on the strate-gic, operational and tactical levels. If armed forces are based in or deployed on continuous operations in an urban environment, a new strategic approach as well as new tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) will be necessary. While the conclusions for the strategic and the operational levels will merely be touched upon, the presentation will focus on the implications on the tactical level. From a conceptual point of view it will be discussed how to operate under such circumstances, what (new) functionalities or cells are needed, which layout and design of command post seems appropriate and what kind of new tools and technologies have to be developed. Those considerations will produce (some) new principles of Command and Control for Urban Operations. So, in a forward projection, the chain of command will have to be modified or at least adjusted. Finally some perspectives and requirements are given for communication and information systems to facilitate Command and Control in Urban Operations in the future.

(Hi)Techs and the City – Future Technologies and the UrbanOps Szenario Michael Sieber, European Defence Agency (EDA) Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) sind alles andere als neu – warum widmen die EDA-Mitgliedstaaten ihre Aufmerk-samkeit der Vorbereitung eines gemeinsamen Investitionsprogramms im Bereich der Führungsunterstützung „Joint Advanced Networking in Urban Scenarios (JANUS)“? Die Antwort ist aus technischer Sicht relativ einfach: Fit for urban – fit for all. Füh-rungs- und Aufklärungstechnologien stoßen im urbanen Umfeld auf eine Menge Unwägbarkeiten und Hindernisse, aber auch auf Chancen; damit bietet „die City“ mit den höchsten Komplexitätsgrad und somit die höchsten Anforderungen an militärische Systeme, speziell wenn diese auf Zusammenarbeit angewiesen sind. JANUS widmet eine Reihe von Projekten den Aspekten Kommunikation, Sensorvernetzung, Informationsverarbeitung und misst schließlich das wahre Innovationspotenzial an der er-zielten operativen Wirkung. Der Vorteil des programmatischen Ansatzes ist, dass am Ende gemeinsam entwickelte Technolo-gien zur Verfügung stehen, mit quasi „eingebauter“ Interoperabilität. JANUS baut einerseits konsequent auf der mit Vernetzter Operationsführung eingeleiteten Transformation auf, ist aber darauf angelegt, die operative Informationsversorgung einem Quantensprung zuzuführen (post 2020).

Optronical Systems in Combination with C2 Ronny Simroth, Telefunken Racoms The presentation covers the challenge to combine optronical systems in combination with C2 and communication systems with the main focus on the communication (transmission) side, because this is the most crucial issue and the prior condition for the performance and expectation to a C2 system. In today’s operational scenarios there is a big challenge to deliver data from sen-sor given elements in nearly real time, in a good quality and with a high reliability to the relevant levels to provide them with those information that are basically needed for further decisions. A special scenario with higher requirements is a dynamic ope-ration in urban operations. Therefore we want to give an general overview about our actual technologies, developments and products for those requirements. Based on a selected example for future soldier systems, TELEFUNKEN RACOMS will present an available system concept that combines sensor systems (night vision, thermal vision, BFT), communication (UHF/VHF radi-os, dynamic adaptable waveforms, MANET capability) and C2 applications for dismounted soldiers. The modularity of this sys-tem, equips future soldiers with the needed capability for every mission.

Engineer Contribution to Urban Operations Colonel (GS) Jörg Busch, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center Colonel (GS) Busch´s presentation will describe the complexity of engineer contribution to urban operations and show the latest considerations on consequences for engineer capabilities in urban environment by the Engineer Branch from AC&CDC. The presentation will start by examining the challenges for the corps of engineers in urban environment, followed by showing pro-bable tasks in urban operations. There are on the one hand more traditional tasks and on the other hand some more progressi-ve tasks. The first topic includes about the engineer contribution to the operational picture, followed by mobility support and counter-mobility. Main focus are the capabilities of German Engineers which should be improved to fulfil the necessary require-ments for Military Engineering. In summary, the lecture will demonstrate the capabilities which are currently available or could be available in the near future and capabilities still have to be established to improve engineer capabilities in urban operations.

Crisis Water Supply in Urban Areas A Backup Concept for Collapsed Drinking Water Infrastructure Micha Brockmann, Kärcher Futuretech The presentation will show a few challenges the military has to face while operating in urban areas, focusing on the water supply for both the operating units and affected population in the case of a collapsed drinking water supply infrastructure. For the military purpose it is also important to keep the population calm and prevent looting caused by the urgent search for drinking water. So, restoring the water supply has to be a central issue. Transporting water to the inhabitants requires an immense effort of logistic and sufficient tank trucks adequate for potable water which are in general not available. The ideal solution to supply thousands of habitants with drinking water under circumstances where the water supply infrastructure is unstable and can col-lapse is a partly central and mobile purification unit to recharge the local water network. A container based system, which can do so, will be presented. It produces drinking water on-site and runs completely independently. The system is able to purify water from all sources like rivers, lakes, sea etc. It even produces drinking water out of chemically contaminated water. If it is the case that the water network is also destroyed there has to be an additional solution. A suggestion for a distribution concept will also be demonstrated. Due to the mobility, the versatility and the high output of drinking water the presented system makes the perfect fit in the equipment to ensure a backup concept for crisis water supply in urban areas.

Determination of Precise Target Locations for High Efficiency and low Collateral Damage Michael Basler, IABG The application of fire support in an Urban Terrain requires a high hit accuracy on the target in order to reduce collateral dama-ge while maintaining high weapon efficiency. For this purpose GPS/INS guided precision ammunition is a possible and promi-sing solution. However the challenge is to provide an accurate target location, otherwise a “precise miss” can be the consequen-ce. If we take the demands for ground based indirect fire support hit accuracy of the German Army as a basis, a target location error of less than 5 meters is required for an efficient us of current GPS-guided precision ammunition. Typical current sensors determine the target location by measuring own position plus direction, elevation and distance to the target, producing unavoi-dable errors due to physical influences on the mensuration process. During a study in 2013, the mensuration accuracy of to-day’s target location systems in the German Army was verified under operational conditions, with the result that the accuracy is not sufficient for GPS-guided precision ammunition. Out of several evaluated possibilities to enhance the target location accura-cy, the use of highly accurate geospatial data proved to be a promising option. Currently this method is already successfully used within aerial sensors, where georeferenced aerial imagery is matched with the sensor images to determine a target locati-on with high accuracy. The use of georeferenced images for a ground-based observer in a complex environment is very limited due to the different perspectives. To depict a correct observer perspective the geospatial data must contain 3D modeled terrain objects and infrastructure, whereby the accuracy of the geospatial data base is crucial for the operational benefit. In a project for the German army, IABG built a 3D geodetic database of Kunduz with a position accuracy of 1-2 meters. While 3D geospatial data can open a wide range of applications, including effect and collateral damage analysis, several operational challenges have to be clarified for a thorough use in Military Operations. IABG is currently working on these challenges to develop manu-facturer-independent and sustainable concepts.

Integrated Mission Planning and Analysis in Urban Environment Dominic R. Scales, tukom GmbH Operations in an urban environment are an extremely dangerous task for all involved forces. Understanding the local situation and planning the mission using all available information helps reducing the risk. To draw an up-to-date picture of the actual situ-ation it requires as much information about the environment as possible. First of all the own infrastructure and all available as-sets need to be known in detail and its effectiveness in the target area needs to be analyzed, coordinated and optimized. This requires an integrated approach that takes geodata, ground, air and space assets, as well as communication infrastructure into account. What makes this task challenging is the fact that most of the players are not static. The solution is a time dynamic mo-delling of the situation. AGIs Systems Tool Kit (STK) provides the right platform to model and analyze the relationship between all kinds of objects over the time.The first step in the planning of a mission should be the acquisition of up-date-data. Therefore, the availability of reconnaissance satellite systems over the area of interest needs to be checked, additionally an unmanned air vehicle needs to be programmed to fly a mission to gather high resolution data. Using the latest data sources, the mission needs to be planned and optimized in terms of communications to answer questions like, where do we have potential gaps in the communication, do we need a relay drone or is a satellite link necessary. The presentation shows solutions on how to plan and analyze a reconnaissance mission and how to model the communication performance between moving objects in an urban environment.

Kinematic Digital Data-Collection of Topography and Infrastructure Lieutenant Colonel Erik Menzel, Bundeswehr Geoinformation Center The presentation outlines how the Bundeswehr Geoinformation Center will in future acquire geoinformation on topography and infrastructure rapidly, precisely, and safely through kinematic data collection. Kinematic data collection means data collection from a moving vehicle. The distinctive factor in this approach is the noncontact collection of mass topographic and feature data in minimum time and requiring low manpower. The YAK GeoInfo protected vehicle implements a multi-sensor concept. To this end, it is equipped with both sensors and a computer network. The following systems are combined in a network: inertial naviga-tion system (INS), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), odometer, stereo scan camera systems, and laser scanner. The navigation sensors are of key importance for the georeferencing of the collected images and laser points. There is one system-specific particularity: This ground-based multi-sensor system is not suitable for blanket coverage data collection. Aerial pho-tography is used for easily linking the collection corridors of the vehicle. On the other hand, the YAK GeoInfo vehicle provides terrestrial imagery that is of a higher positional accuracy and covers areas that are not visible from the air. Both data collection procedures thus perfectly complement each other. The Bundeswehr Geoinformation Service will have with YAK GeoInfo a mo-dern and high-performance data collection system. The classical methods of data collection such as the interpretation of aerial photos and satellite imagery and terrestrial surveying and the new method of kinematic data collection complement each other perfectly.

Strategy for the Central Distribution of Simulation Databases using International Standards Dr. Christoph Averdung, CPA ReDev In the context of establishing static and dynamic data for simulation applications it is ideal to distinguish between the database which stores the data and the tools for the generation of these databases. Today database generation tools are developed re-garding the manufacturers specifications. These specifications have a strong focus on the simulator, which the data is created for. In contrast to that there is the objective to describe the simulation database independently from any product. With that the multiple results of different database generation tools can be distributed using a single and central mechanism. The data model of these databases has to be designed in a way that all requirements of any simulation system are met. With that a cost redu-cing strategy for building-up simulation databases is found, because it is standardised, reusable, extensible and sustainable. The ISO standard 18023ff (SEDRIS - Synthetic Environment Data Representation and Interchange Specification) brings an approach for a data model containing dynamic and static data. Since this approach has been transferred into the ISO standards 19100ff, SEDRIS is compliant to the GeoInformation Database Bw (GeoInfo-Datenbasis Bw) which is described in the same series of standards. The overall use of international norms and standards brings best preconditions for the generation of simula-tion databases based on the quality-proofed GeoInfo data and the service orientated distribution towards database generation systems and simulators following the specifications of the Open Geospatial Consortiums (OGC).

Rapid creation of 3D Urban Areas to Support Operations and Planning Michael Mundt, Director Sales, Geosecure Informatik The challenge of today‘s missions is to get up-to-date situational awareness in a timely fashion. Responsible commanders need to understand the local situation precisely to be able to effectively manage own forces on the battlespace. In this respect, time is the critical factor and dependent on the availibility of adequate geospatial data and its relevance in respect to the mission. Often decision makers have to decide within short time. Therefore new technologies are required, that help enabling the decisi-on maker for quick and efficient decisions. This is mandatory for support of Operations and Planning in urban areas. The pre-sentation points out a new approach to better fit the requirements of planning, simulation and training.

R&D Project to Generate Geo-Information for Urban Operations Berthold Winck, Bundeswehr Geoinformation Center Military operations in an urban environment require new technologies for the automated, quick, and realistic visualisation of this area in a virtual 3D world. The purpose of this 3D world is to provide GeoInfo support to operational forces that should be prepa-red for the theatre as early as possible. The research and development project presented here is a basic project for the fully automated processing of remote sensing data into GeoInfo data. Terrestrial, aerial, and satellite imagery of the highest resoluti-on is transformed into high-quality GeoInfo data. The results are incorporated into the Bundeswehr GeoInfo database. With this research project we intend to prove that the sensors, methods, and procedures used therein – some of which are rather uncon-ventional - can ensure enhanced and sustainable GeoInfo support to operations.

Navigation in an Urban Environment Lieutenant Colonel Wilhelm Friedrich Kersten, Bundeswehr Geoinformation Center Navigation, especially satellite navigation, in an urban environment is a special challenge. Its capabilities are constrained by the buildings that may either shadow or reflect the signals. Shadowing reduces the number of visible satellites and leads to unfa-vourable geometry conditions. Reflections cause what we call multipath effects. Both shadowing and multipath effects result in a loss of accuracy. If, in extreme cases, the signals of less than four satellites can be received simultaneously, positioning is not possible. There are various approaches that can be implemented to solve these problems. Technically, it is possible to simulta-neously process the signals of other GNSS in a multi-GNSS approach so that the number of visible satellites can be conside-rably increased. Along with GPS the Russian GLONASS is fully operational. The European Galileo and the Chinese BeiDou systems are under construction. For GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, monitoring is ensured by the GNSS Information and Obser-vation System of the Bundeswehr (GIBSBw). Throughout the Bundeswehr, only GPS is currently used for navigation and sur-veying purposes, though. As to Galileo, the possibility of using the encoded PRS signal (Public Regulated Service) in combinati-on with GPS-PPS is being investigated. Along with the full systems, the characteristics of regional augmentation systems such as the Japanese QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System) are of interest for navigation in an urban environment. Due to the confi-guration of QZSS, additional satellites are visible near the zenith. If satellite navigation is only possible to a limited extent, hybrid navigation systems are of special importance. The GPS receiver component is supplemented by inertial sensors so that satellite navigation can be supported or even substituted in places. Various systems are already in use.

Advanced Reconnaissance Technologies for Future Vehicle Mission Systems Dr. Thomas Weise, Rheinmetall Due to asymmetric threats, active and passive reconnaissance in the near surrounding of military vehicles requires sophistica-ted technology solutions for future Vehicle mission systems. An electro/optic 360° panoramic sight with day/night properties for surveillance and reconnaissance is a requirement of increasing importance for such technology solutions. Improvement of situa-tional awareness features applying modern image processing solutions for semiautomatic detection, evaluation and decision support is necessary. Identification features of non-cooperative targets in order to decide on measures with a minimum of colla-teral damage need to be realized in MOUT scenarios. Based on these requirements Rheinmetall with its partners developed an electro/optic 360° Situational Awareness System SAS with intelligent image processing for semiautomatic target detection and identification. Within future vehicle mission systems this technology solution supports, alerts and unburden the operators during their tasks. The panoramic sight is given by the output of several TV and uncooled IR cameras. The sectorial pictures are stitched to one 360° view. Operation and Visualization of image frames and alert regions is performed intuitively in real time. Image processing tools provide automatic target detection, tracking and classification both during hold and movement of the vehicle. For verification the target view is transferred to the fire control of a remote controlled weapon system RCWS with its e/o sight on demand of the operator. A multimode tracking device is in-tegrated into the fire control system of the RCWS automatically taking target tracking and directing the weapon system onto the target permanently until combat decision of the operator. The open architecture of this new mission system, following the future generic Vehicle architecture GVA, enables optional adaption of additional reconnaissance systems e.g. Change detection, acoustic sniper location and laser warning etc. The connection and integration of dislocated sensor carriers e.g. UGVs or UAVs as well as infantry fighting groups with their electronic equipment has been investigated successfully. These new technology solutions for future vehicle mission systems have been investigated and demonstrated in close cooperation with the military end user. The potential of first applications is currently under investigation.

PD-100 Block 2 , Nano UAV for Safe Use in Urban Operations Jarl Eirik Straume, Prox Dynamics Urban areas often represent quite complex environments for military operations. Factors like natural and human terrain, location and infrastructure amongst others all come in to play. These environments also contain a variety of different human activity and dynamics, of both a friendly and non-friendly nature and situations can rapidly escalate from benign to high-threat in a very short period of time. Urban areas provide a variety of blind spots, dead ground and other hiding places. Operations in these complex environments may inhibit tempo and require greater resources where superior technology does not necessarily provide a tan-gible advantage. UAVs have been proving their worth for a considerable time in many different categories and serving different purposes. There are currently thousands of different Unmanned Air Systems (UAS/RPAS) available and the general consensus is that these systems add value in most situations. However, the question remains: are these UAS/RPAS suitable for use in urban operati-ons? Most UAS/RPAS in service today seem to be of the type and size that possess some significant limitations when operating in support of urban operations. Almost all flying objects in the military inventory present a risk of causing collateral damage if they were to fall from the sky. The result of a 1Kg UAV falling from a height of only 20m would present a potentially fatal outco-me or at least escalation of tension amongst a crowd. Furthermore, in all types of operations the ability to be able to operate covertly and to see without being seen provides an important advantage. Wouldn’t it be ideal if there was something that could operate covertly within all operating environments, including urban areas and provide the operator or small team with dynamic Situation Awareness in the most complex of operating environments; be that real-time imagery of the layout of a maze of streets, whether there is somebody hiding in the shadows around the next corner, up on a roof or in a doorway, or the direction of movement of a somebody or something. Prox Dynamics is confident that the PD-100 Personal Reconnaissance System (PRS) provides the solution to this challenge. The Prox Dynamics PD-100 Black Hornet Personal Reconnaissance System is the World’s smallest operational UAS/RPAS and has been used extensively on operations by NATO forces over the past few years. The PRS is truly a Cargo Pocket ISR solution for the modern warfighter. It is described by its users as a “Game Changer” and a “Life Saver”, and has created a new standard and class for the smallest UAS/RPAS. Weighing only 18 grams, the Black Hornet helicopter is inherently safe , organic and covert. Despite its small size, the Black Hornet provides live motion video and snapshots back to the operator. PD-100 PRS bridges the gap between aerial and ground-based sensors, significantly enhancing the situational awareness for dismounted and mounted units. At only 1.3 kg total system weight, the PD-100 PRS is compact and easily integrated with an operator’s personal equipment.

Through-the-Wall Sensing Dr. Ulrik Neupert, Dr. Marcus John, Fraunhofer INT Through-the-wall sensing comprises a number of techniques, which allow action forces and relief units for an improved situatio-nal awareness during operations, requiring the localisation and identification of persons and/or objects, which are obscured by opaque objects. Since such applications must rely on electro-magnetic radiation, which is able to penetrate solid objects, all active systems use micro- or radio-waves. Thus such devices are often called “Through-the-wall radar”. Current systems allow the localisation and tracking of (moving) objects behind opaque barriers, although the interpretation of the generated images requires expert knowledge. As a consequence the research in this area currently focusses on the development of better and faster imaging algorithms. Additionally passive systems, which utilize the ubiquitous presence of mobile communication and W-LAN networks, are currently developed. In our talk we will present a short overview of the current state of the technological development. Furthermore we will give an overview of the ongoing research efforts in different countries and will discuss future application scenarios of these techniques.

Tactical use of Biometrics Lieutenant Colonel Dirk Wedhorn, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center This session/panel is to address the need for as well as realistic options of the Army applying biometric processes in contempo-rary operational environments today and tomorrow. Currently, we cannot - or only insufficiently - place or relate the activities of networks in urban operations (UrbOps). Military intelligence situation of today's operations, and especially so of UrbOps, is based on network-related intelligence rather than on RED force exercise organizations. Due to the lack of a distinctive visibility, our adversary has no difficulties in blending with the local population. In an attempt to weed them out from the general public the extensively use of biometrics is an option. Some of the effects include stripping the enemy of anonymity, separating the enemy from the populace, promoting security and governance, denying freedom of movement, enhancing force protection and supporting the identification and targeting of persons of interest and networks. We have to arrange doctrines and techniques and procedures providing a standardized framework for planning, integrating, and employing biometrics data collection efforts by tactical units designed to improve data quality and maximize system capability in support of military operations.

GLMAV Concept for a Fast Intervention Dedicated to Aerial Observation Dr. Eng. Patrick Gnemmi, ISL Within the framework of the protection of the citizen and the protection of the vital infrastructures and the networks, a French consortium realizes a complete program for the achievement of the GLMAV ("Gun Launched Micro Air Vehicle"). A subsonic projectile launched from a dedicated portable tube is transformed into a MAV once arrived over the site to be observed. This device is dedicated to any forms of surveillance and control of people and infrastructures by the air, because it is equipped with an embarked vision system with image transmission in real time. Its architecture based on rotary wings confers him a capacity of hovering flight which allows the evaluation of a situation in an urban environment where UAVs with fixed wings are ineffective. From a concept study carried out in 2008 by the ISL, studies of mechanical design began at the starting of the project. Simulati-ons of internal ballistics contributed to the manufacturing of the ballistic launcher. Numerical simulations in fluid mechanics vali-dated by measurements on a micro-rotor allowed the sizing of the platform according to the constraints of the design. Simulati-ons in external ballistics drove to the choice of the type of ballistic stabilization and to the analysis of the phase of deployment of rotors. Simulations in automatic showed that command laws are available for this vehicle type. All the manufactured elements constituting the GLMAV platform were tested against the acceleration and some were hardened to resist it. Very numerous tests undertaken during the evolution of the GLMAV allowed to validate completely the platform as well as all its features during ma-nual controlled flights in indoor and in outdoor without and with wind. Other numerous tests ended in the validation of the bal-listic launcher for the envisaged scenarios. The ballistic launcher of less than 10 kg is completely operational; it allows the launching of the GLMAV platform in projectile mode at 500 m for an observation beginning at 100 m of height. The GLMAV platform transformed into a “day-seeker” of about 1 kg is completely operational for the observation in the horizontal and vertical directions. One of the originalities of the system lies in the use of an external energy to position it over the site to be observed. Another originality lies in the quickness to have a capacity of observation (12 seconds approximately). The fact that the elements of the GLMAV are hardened against the accele-ration constitutes originality because the platform is strengthened.

Mobile Monitoring – Urban Reconnaissance and Surveillance Georg M. Schweizer, Securiton Mobile monitoring (mobile surveillance) is a collective term for the time-limited monitoring using mobile technical aids. Mobile stands for portable and non-stationary as well as mobile communication. Mobile Monitoring supports security organizations and their staff in the monitoring of persons and objects. Experiences show, that with the use of modern mobile monitoring, sensor and video technology an unprotected area or property can be monitored or protected within hours. The safety of temporary operations is immediately increased, stabilized and dispo-sable for a 24h per day operation. The detection of illegal behaviour, unauthorized access and the alarming of the intervention forces are several times more reliable than with human guards. SECURITON member of the SWISS SECURITAS GROUP has shown during many public and civil operations for governmental organisations as for worldwide operating companies, that the protection of critical infrastructure, with modern monitoring systems is very powerand successful.

Abstracts of Panel Session VI: Counter IEDAbstracts of Panel Session VI: Counter IEDAbstracts of Panel Session VI: Counter IED

Countering IED in Urban Operations Lieutenant Colonel André Buchardt, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center Understanding NATO’s C-IED Approach is the basis for military leaders to successfully fight against the global and enduring threat that poses IEDs. The presentation will deal with the fundamentals of C-IED and its significantly increased importance in future Urban Operations. The first part illustrates fundamentals of C-IED to create a common understanding of the terms and definitions used in NATO, the German Armed Forces and in the framework of the conference panel. It will further describe the adversary IED System and the doctrinal NATO response to it, what is called the C-IED Approach. The second part is dedicated to the characteristics of C-IED in an urban environment, by depicting relevant factors that strengthen the enemy IED system and by examing the current own C-IED capabilities for Urban Operations. Finally it highlights the challenges a force will face in the domain of C-IED in order to minimize the risks posed by an adversary’s IED activity so that it is no longer a significant constraint on the successful conduct of the operations.

Attack the Networks (I) Markus Lischka, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center The ISAF mission is about to end. Subsequently the allied casualties as of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan are decreasing. This is unfortunately not a trend of global scale. The IED threat remains present and is – with its TTPs – perma-nently developing. An important outcome of NATO’s advanced efforts on C-IED is the ”Attack the Networks” approach which in the past successfully kept pace with the developments of the threat. The presentation covers the current global IED-Development and gives a retrospective on the “evolution” of the threat in different recent scenarios and its possible meanings for future. Increasing urbanization as an obvious trend towards “Megacities” will once more cause new and adapted IED threats and scenarios for deployed forces. The briefing further elaborates on the phenomenon and points out a number of necessary activities to appropriately face the trend. The ”Counter Threat Networks” approach as very recent ”food for thought” from NATO is also taken in account.

Threat from sUAS IED - Detection and Countermeasures Christian Janke, European Aviation Security Center e.V. Small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) are rising in civil and military operations. sUAS can be fixed-wing, quad-or multicopter, propelled by electric or piston engine and piloted remotely or automatically. They are easy to access (self-made or purchase), very mobile (vehicle and remote control are portable) and difficult to detect and counteract. Performance and payload capabili-ties of modern sUAS are raising the question of a possible (mis-) use as weapons in asymmetrical conflicts. Equipped with IEDs they can travel the appropriate distance to enter secured areas like camps, embassies or convoys. Even an armored ground vehicle becomes in that scenario a vulnerable target, considering the minimum protection from above. Guided with programmed flight path they can decoy defense systems that are programmed for ballistic curve entry. Operating automatically, jamming will be of no use. Detections methods could be radar, laser, and optical or acoustical sensors. Pending on the scenario, countermeasures can be applied. It is significant whether the endangered object is moving or perma-nent, whether the environment is urban or rural or how the overall security level can be assessed. Therefore passive and active countermeasures are possible in case of a threat from sUAS. Those CM will be introduced and explained in detail in the presen-tation.

Attack the Networks (II) Captain Martin Steinbrücker, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center The presentation will follow up the prospects presentation. It starts with position-fixing of our current situation of C-IED referring to the exploitation process. A short outline is given to present the contribution exploitation makes to Attack the Networks. After that the exploitation process is briefly shown and explained. The significance of biometrical data is noted. Thereby some short examples from the presenter’s mission experience are given. After that the presentation concludes with a future prospect of mission intermediate time showing, why it is high time to adjourn the focus of Attack the networks, the principal pillar of the C-IED system, to Countering Threat Networks, the inter-agencies, multinational C-IED approach.

Indirect Fire in Urban Operations Lieutenant Colonel Olaf Tuneke, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center The lecture will demonstrate the complexity of using indirect fire weapons in urban operations and identify the consequences for future weapon systems, reconnaissance means and command and control assets. Tactical training scenarios ("vignettes") will provide an understanding of the complexity of using indirect fires in urban operations and present the concept of Joint Fire Support (JFS) with regard to the coordination efforts involved. The lecture will cover not only the preconditions for using indirect fires (incl. precise target acquisition) but particularly focus on the special demands on both the command and control systems and the various weapons. This latter part will include ammuniti-on requirements such as scalability, loitering capability and terminal course guidance. In summary, the lecture will demonstrate the capabilities that are currently available or will be available in the near future and which capabilities will still have to be established for the precise use of indirect fires in urban operations.

Scalable Warhead Effects Combined with Small Collateral Damage Footprints Markus Graswald, TDW Flexible response warhead technologies have been studied by TDW for many years and a number of system concepts develo-ped. While most of them increased their maturity over the years, the operational capabilities of scalable effects warheads were assessed with UniVeMo together with IABG and its technical maturity demonstrated full-scale also using original MK-82 bomb bodies. This campaign was conducted at Meppen proving ground in June 2013. TDWs scalable effects technology can be applied to blast-fragmentation and penetrator warheads. It provides at least three output modes: a novel minimum output mode (deflagration), several intermediate modes, and a classical maximum output mode (detonation). For simplicity, the energy of a 100 kg, deflagrating charge may be compared with a detonating charge containing 10 kg of high explosives only. It is obvious that fragment and blast performances are significantly reduced at such sub-detonative outputs. As a result, lethal footprints can be scaled and warhead effects selected depending on the target or target set at endgame just prior to burst. Soft and semi-hard targets like pick-up trucks and light armored carriers can be successfully engaged also at minimum output, while collateral damages of civilians and buildings may be extremely reduced and precisely concentrated within a small area - precise bomb or missile hits provided. In addition, maximum output being equal to existing single mode warheads or bombs is still available for military combat missions. This technology may be applied to air-to-surface precision guided bombs, anti-ship or cruise missiles enhancing their land attack capability as well as small-size indirect fire weapons or missiles for urban environments.

UniVeMo the German Standard for Assessment of Modern Effectors with Regard to Urban Operations Heinrich Dorsch, IABG NATO requires the assessment of weapon effects including collateral damage and risk estimate distances in advance of wea-pon engagements. In Germany BAAINBw K1.2 is responsible for providing the respective methodologies and data. On behalf of BAAINBw K1.2 IABG develops UniVeMo (Universelles Verwundbarkeits-Modell) the accredited German standard vulnerability/lethality evaluation tool. This presentation provides an overview of current UniVeMo capabilities with regard to modern effectors in urban operations. Starting from target requirements the benefit of modern flexible, scalable weapon concepts is addressed and the influence on limiting collateral damage is shown. Test results and sample applications will convey an inside view of penetration and blast effects to the audience. This presentation addresses topics like • Modern effectors • CER/RED considerations • Weapon effects • Tests & methodology development • Sample application • Urban targets/scenarios • Collateral damage/risk estimate distance for urban operations and a variety of modern weapon systems.

Effecting the Information Environement Colonel (GS) Frank Pieper, DEU Army Center for Operational Communications The briefer will discuss the thesis that especially in urban operations mission success mainly depends on the perception of tacti-cal and kinetic activities and not on the activities themselves. Core part of the presentation is the contribution of information and communication activities (ICA) to this mission success. The chosen perspective includes all levels of command as well as the political STRATCOM level. Finally the briefing will highlight information and communication activities as decisive effector in ur-ban operations.

Study – Equipment and weapons of the Future German Army Infantry Section Major Eike Sinzig, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center The presentation will describe the Study “Equipment and Weapons of the future German Army Infantry Section” of the German Army. The presentation starts with a description of the current state of the “second generation future soldier system IDZ- ES”. It will explain the burden of the soldier on the ground, and it outlines possibilities to reduce the weight. Further the presentation gives an outlook about the changes and their probable timetable. The main subject of the presentation is the Study “Equipment and Weapons of the future German Army Infantry Section” of the German Army. The presentation will conclude with a description of the study and the way we are trying to find out the best and effective equipment and an effective mix of weaponry for the German infantry section.

Substitution of Large Calibre Weapons to Increase Independency of small Infantry Units Michael Humbeck, Dynamit Nobel Defence In today’s scenarios the use of heavy weapons is on one hand highly desirable as built-up areas offer strong cover to the oppo-nents, on the other hand, however, their use seems to be not always feasible as troops are conducting patrols or fighting activi-ties on foot or from light vehicles. Shoulder-launched weapons offer a solution for this situation, and they have already acquired a strong position in such scenari-os. They offer a wide variety of possibilities to defeat strongholds, fortifications, etc. at close to medium ranges. Their relatively low weight of less than 10 kg together with a length of only up to 1m, and their compatibility to e.g. LRF, night-vision equipment, fire control systems, etc., guarantee high precision and hit probability and can be used by single soldiers due to their ergonomic design, thus making such weapons essential for fighting in urban scenarios. Modern shoulder-launched weapons like DND’s RGW 60/90 mm weapons family offer a wide spectrum of efficiency with high degree of performance and multi-target capabilities. The infantryman who is equipped with such weapons will have a high level of enforcement power. Due to the high precision and accuracy collateral damage will stay within controllable limits. In this presentation, DND will present the RGW 90, the RGW 90 AS (Anti Structure), and the Effector 90 mm with airburst war head to defeat enemy positions at distances up to 1200 m. Modern trends in development of such weapons, such as integration into RCWS or scalable war heads, are discussed.

Modern and Precise Effetiveness in Urban Operations Jochen Dehner, MBDA In military operations in urban terrain scenarios troops are often overloaded by heavy equipment. Carrying their own protection and equipment through heavy terrain affects their sustainability and endurance. Consequently troops need effectors which can either be easily carried and operated by one soldier or can be brought into combat by remote control. This would then be a Joint Fire scenario which is not fixed to specific platforms. As Insurgents often use civilians to hide and protect themselves high precision is a must to avoid collateral damage. In addition high precision means not to carry a huge amount of ammunition. One shot – one hit. MBDA will show concept and development results for a light weight, low cost, precision systems to meet these requirements and challanges. Furthermore MBDA has deve-loped warheads with scalable effectiveness. It will be shown from an operational and technical point of view how this helps to avoid collateral damage. Possible target engagement – from direct via indirect to omni direct angles – are provides to fulfil the mission. Last but not least the effectiveness on targets behind protective cover by air burst will be shown.

Terminal ballistic Performance of new Mid-Caliber-Effectors Dr. Lutz Börngen, Rheinmetall Waffe Munition In this presentation terminal ballistics firing results as well as some results of fragmentation tests of some warhead concepts for new Mid-Caliber-Effectors for the combat of UrbOps-targets will be shown. The new effectors shall fulfill the following terminal ballistic requirements in Urban Operations: • High penetration capability against infrastructure targets • Fragments in a room behind infrastructure targets On the basis of the expert knowledge of tms in the field of the design of Geo-Penetrators the different designs of the warhead nose were constructed and tested in the caliber of 30mm. In the terminal ballistic tests these concepts were fired against conc-rete, brick and adobe walls. An overview of the results will be given in the presentation.

German Infrantryman - Extended System Colonel (GS) Christian Brandes, DEU Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Center Modern warfare and the threats of regular and irregular forces, conditions like darkness, poor visibility or extreme weather and the challenges of difficult combat situations are reasons to optimize the equipment of the infantryman. The presentation will describe the German Army’s thinking on Modular Dismounted Soldier Systems at the example of the “German Infantryman – Extended System [IdZ-ES]”. The lecture will start by introducing the subsystems and different means of equipment, followed by describing the electronic components of the “Extended System”. The necessary C4I components (Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Information) will be introduced in more detail. Especially the radio equip-ment for different distances, the “Electronic Back” and its “Control and Display Unit” as well as additional equipment for the lea-der will be presented. The lecture concludes with the presentation of the current situation in the German Army and will finally discuss the ideas and visions for the Extended System within the next couple of years.

Solution for Future Soldier Systems Marco Glöckler, Telefunken Racoms The presentation covers the requirements of today’s tactical communication systems for future soldier systems. The trade-offs of communication system are explained and the evaluation leading to TELEFUNKEN Racoms’ MOTS communication system is elucidated. The performance of the introduced communication system meets the soldier’s demands in the tactical communicati-on by minimum weight and training time. One key requirement is real-time data with simultaneous voice communication. This allows the exchange of sensor data, Blue Force Tracks (BFT), missions and commands between infantryman and higher eche-lons and vice versa and still supply the most important command and control equipment- voice. To guarantee high reliable data connection TELEFUNKEN Racoms’ assembles mobile ad-hoc Network (MANET) to meet the fast changing conditions on the battlefield. The MOTS radio PNR-1000 of TELFUNKEN Racoms enables MANET capabilities in future soldier systems and supports the connection of sensors and display equipment via standard interfaces. This enables soldiers and higher echelons to follow BFT and exchange other data. A ruggedized display for the future soldier allows better situational awareness of the dis-mounted soldier. The mounted troops and Headquarters will be informed about the situation with the fully interoperable TORCH application. The modularity of this this system, equips future soldiers with the needed capability for every mission.

Self-Sufficiency and Versatility with Portable Water Supply Systems Micha Brockmann, Kärcher Futuretech Urban areas are characterized by densely built and hardly open areas. Sight lines are often blocked, so situations are unclear and difficult to manage. Armed forces have to evaluate situations under uncertainty so they can't predict where they will be in the next days. Due to unsafe circumstances it is easy to get isolated, so a fresh supply can't be guaranteed. Therefore it is im-portant to be self-sufficient. The most important basic need of a soldier is safe drinking water. Since urban missions can last, the water supply has to be ensured at any time. The ideal solution to supply possibly isolated operating units in an unclear sce-nario is a decentralized, portable water purification unit, that runs safely regardless of available energy and water sources and can be used with a minimum of expertise. A portable system will be presented, that can safely purify tap water, well water or stream water to provide drinking water for independent operating teams of up to 100 persons. In a second approach it will be also possible to purify saline or chemically contaminated water. Another characteristic is the compact dimension and lightweight of the single units to facilitate the transportation by one person. Thereby, the system is suitable to be carried through houses, to cross impassable terrain and transport it in small vehicles, e.g. a four by four, to be flexible, mobile and agile. The intuitive and automatic operation of the system makes it a perfect fit in the mission equipment of an operating unit.

PMMC G5, FFG's Vehicle Solution for Urban Operations Kay Dittloff, Flensburger Fahrzeugbau FFG Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft mbH presents its vehicle solution for urban operations based on PMMC G5. FFG’s own developed Protected Mission Module Carrier G5 (PMMC G5) offers a great bunch of advantages for a mission in urban terrain. Equipped with a flexible protection system the PMMC G5 offers a high protection level against Ballistic, Mine, IED, EFP, Fragments and RPG threats. Equipped with a unique vision system for the driver combined with integration of vetronics the vehicle offers a great situational awareness. The possibility to install nearly every weapon station the G5 offers a convincing firepower not only for urban operation. The special vehicle design supplies the user with a tactical advantage due to the high urban maneuverability and transport capacity. The voluminous crew compartment offers perfect ergonomical conditions for crew and passengers.

Qualification of Military Leaders for Urban Operation Lieutenant Colonel Volker Steffen Hahn, DEU Army Training Command The variety of tasks and responsibilities demanded of our Armed Forces in Urban operations requires specific training and quali-fications that build on one and another. Even the Commanders of our men and women will experience specific leadership pres-sures unique to this type of war fighting scenario. Therefore how will future commanders be prepared and trained to deploy on missions in urban environments? What will be the theoretical and practical concepts behind this training? What training estab-lishments within the Bundeswehr could be used to deliver this type of training? After a short introduction to the Bundeswehr's training philosophy behind Urban Ops training, the presentation will cover the core topics which underpin current Infantry training at the Infantry School in Hammelburg. This will include the training goals for Officers from platoon to battalion level and Non Commissioned Officers from group (section) to platoon level. It will also highlight the introduction and integration of new weapons and equipment in to training and the urban ops environment.

Securing Better Training by Enhancing Instrumentation Philippe Tomczyk, RUAG Realistic training through live simulation in urban combat training centers • Realistic and save training through “Counter Improvised Explosive Device Systems” The degree of realistic training can be augment with the simulated threat of counter improvised explosive devices. Those devi-ces can be positioned very effectively inside or outside of buildings over the live training area. The purpose of such a system is to make the soldiers aware of the IED threat and teach them how to behave after a simulated device has detonated. In such a case the system will emit a laser code in a certain area to all the surrounding soldiers wearing a adequate body instrumentation system. Hence, the soldiers that are less wounded will have to decide if they can proceed with the mission or abort due to heavy casualties and aid their comrades. • There are numerous possibilities of live simulation in urban instrumented areas. The degree of live simulations effectiveness can be augmented, so that the soldier is submersed in a realistic as possible urban war theater. In such a instrumented environ-ment the soldier is confronted with door and windows that open when they are hit by a laser bullet. Also the buildings react to the different kind of threats. For example a building that is being shot at by a pistol will react in accordance by not doing anything. But a building being hit by a mortar round will open all door, windows and will send a kill code to all the soldiers in the house. • Dismounted close combat training through mobile instrumentation devices. The urban training areas are adapting to the different war scenarios. Over time the scenarios as the urban training areas will change and adapt to new threats found in the real war environment. In such a ever changing system the instrumentation devi-ces and the system has to be mobile, flexible and easy to install in any kind of building. • Better training through higher accuracy in live training devices Through the use of a sophisticated laser devices RUAG is able to simulate a rules of engagement shooting or a hostage situati-on. The laser is able to hit an area of 50 cm at a distance up to 1000 meters.

Adding more Realism into Urban Operations Training Peter Creutz, Saab Urban Operations Training using simulators, for example laser instead of real ammunition, raises some specific requirements for the simulator equipment and training facilities in order to get as realistic training as possible. The industry has met a lot of these requirements and some of them are still waiting for a solution. Typical training challenges in urban terrain are using laser firing on buildings, very short distances to target, indoor positioning and visualization of effects from direct and indirect fire on buildings. Is it good enough to use the simulators used for traditional outdoor training within the urban environment? Sometimes it could be, but the realism during the training would definitely increa-se if some features or technologies are added. Such features not only enhances the realism for the soldiers during the training, but also gives a higher value of the After Action Review and evaluation of the training performed.

Training Urban Operations Pascal Berger, Solution Manager Defence & Security Systems, THALES Urban operations become more and more a significant part of military operations, leading to new wordings like Close Quarter Battle or Close Quarter Combat. Urban terrains are by nature very complex in terms of limited space to act and react, action takes place on various levels. These theatres are subject to fast changing conditions, demanding for quick reaction and decision making process. A mixture of civilian and military actors as well as insurgents even increases the pressure on the personnel. A strong need for communication and co-ordination between forces and observation of the theatres are also vital for mission suc-cess, while the complex structure of urban terrains limits these facilities. Having said this, a demand for specialized training of such specific situations is obvious. Simulation systems are an effective mean to prepare personnel in a safe environment. Situa-tions can be trained in combined scenarios, involving all personnel from individual dismounted soldiers up to vehicle crews and command level, reflecting the complexity of urban operations. The use of state of the art visual technology enables the simulati-on of high quality urban terrains, providing a high level of immersion to the trainees. The paper provided by Thales will identify the requirements for training urban operations. It will cover the advantages provided by such simulation systems based on our solution. As urban operations often take place during night time, limited lighting has a strong impact on the manoeuvers and visibility of involved forces. Mission critical is the use of night vision devices, on the one hand for the observation of the theatre and on the other hand for actions to be performed. Therefore the paper submitted by Thales will also provide an overview on such solutions.

Preparing Military Units for Urban Operation Lieutenant Colonel Stefan Haese, DEU Army Training Command The lecture will show new challenges under changed circumstances in urban operations and how we prepare our soldiers and units. Symmetric conflicts are less likely than asymmetric conflicts. The population `ll gain a central objective of our thinking. We have to operate within other civilizations which are sometimes very strange for us. So we have to answer a lot of questions in two main streams: 1.) training of the troops and 2.) facing a population centric operation. On our panel the key of my considera-tion `ll be more the training as a chain from the individual soldier up to the task force and which facilities and centers we do use for the preparation of troops for the urban sprawl. In summary – the lecture will demonstrate the facilities for training of today, `ll point at tomorrow, always with a link to our soldiers.

Standard Test-Methods for Robots Dr. Andreas Ciossek, COBHAM In the past seven years Standard Test-Methods were developed to independently measure the capabilities of unmanned robots. Hosted now at the ASTM Homeland Security Task group the original idea for the work came from the First Responders who needed a second source of information besides the given data sheets from the manufacturers. The goal was to have a data base with by scientist measured statistical significant results about the robots capabilities, which could be reproduced all over the world and which ensure the First Responders they get what they really need for their job. This idea was taken by the NIST and an international task group was founded with First Responders, Scientist and Manufacturers which is now located at the ASTM. Currently four test areas are buildup in San Antonio (USA, TX), Gaithersburg (USA, MD), Koblenz (Germany) and Kyoto (Japan). This talk will show the lessons learned and the advances of these Standard Test-Methods over the last years. The Test-Methods are developed through a staged process. After the request from the First Responders for certain capabilities a first design is made and goes through several iterations of testing and refining until the final state of the Test-Method is found which is then balloted at the ASTM before it is a Standard Test-Method for robots. This process includes from the beginning to the end all three mayor protagonists the First Responders, the scientists and the manufacturers. This task group regularly meets at ASTM and for example in Disaster City (TX). Although this talk is given from a manufacturer’s sight it will concentrate on the development of these Standard Test-Methods and show that comparison is good for the First Responder, because they now know what they will get, the Scientist, because they could analyze different designs and develop new approaches and last but not least the developers of the manufacturer who get a valuable feedback about what is really needed by the First Responders.

Challenges of Army Aviation Missions in Urban Theatres Marcel Mämpel, Airbus Defence & Space Army Aviation flying helicopters in urban theatres face a number of safety challenges be-cause they have to fly at low altitudes and also in degraded visual environments. Most critical issues occur in situations where for instance obstacles or confinements in the flight path or close to the flight path can be a threat to helicopters. The threat of collision increases when the pilot has to fly at low level and/or in degraded visual environments, such as brown-out, white-out and zero-light conditions. This results in a high number of helicopter accidents, fatalities and destroyed assets. Today’s technologies can help to solve the problem of degraded visual environments for helicopter pilots and to reduce their workload during most stringent missions significantly. Where human eyesight alone is not enough, special software can process and combine in-formation from advanced real-time sensors, information from databases and information ar-riving via data links and present it in practical, easy to understand visual format. In degraded visual environments, a special system set up in the helicopter can generate vis-ual cues for the pilot. In the most extreme cases, the pilot can fly the helicopter while it would be impossible to fly without the visual aids. In any case, the visual cues can make flying eas-ier. This results in better flight safety and certainty of mission success.

Entering the URBAN SPRAWL: Modelling & Simulation for Analysis, Training, and Exercises of Operations in Urban Terrain Dr. Pascal van Overloop, IABG The year 2007 marked the tipping point when for the first time in history more people lived in urban agglomerations than in the countryside. But even before, every major military mission in the last years, such as in the Balkans, Iraq, or Afghanistan, has been characterized by an extensive urban component. Although many future conflict scenarios will be rooted in densely popula-ted areas, most of the Modelling & Simulation (M&S) toolset seems still to focus on conflict scenarios in open or scarcely popu-lated terrain from the Cold War era, thereby neglecting the special requirements and possible impacts of operations in urban terrain. This presentation addresses these special requirements imposed by urban operation scenarios on M&S concepts and tools in the live, virtual, and constructive domain. The impact on different areas of M&S use like Training & Exercise and Analy-sis is explored. This includes identified challenges related to technology, staffing, and organization, as well as their assessment and possible solution approaches. After an overview of related M&S technologies, together with their pitfalls and drawbacks, the presentation focuses on ideas for future development and implementation. Theoretical concepts are further illustrated by examples like the German Combat Training Center with its newly built urban sector and corresponding live simulation systems in addition to the use of virtual, constructive or federated simulation systems in relation to urban operations.

Air and Land Based Support for Urban Enviroment Guido Brendler, MBDA Urban environments are characterized by a complex scenario for military operations. This complexity is derived from numerous factors such as complex manmade physical terrain, infrastructures, a population of significant size and density location, cultures of their inhabitants and many other factors. The urban environment includes challenges such as combat identification, propensi-ty for collateral damage, preservation of infrastructure, restrictive rules of engagement, line of sight obstructions (to include tar-geting and communications), and freedom of maneuver. The physical terrain of most urban areas makes the movement of large forces difficult and adversely affects the ability of the joint force to maneuver. The imminent threat to the own forces in such scenarios have to be well balanced against the military task. As a consequence delivery of precision effects in such complex environments a certain stand-off capability might be the preferred choice of the military commander. This can be achieved either through stand-off precision weapons or through detached weapon platforms, both from platforms in the air or on the ground. In order to meet tomorrow’s operational challenges, MBDA-Germany has developed a concept for a multi-role system to engage different targets with high precision which will be presented. It is a simple, low-cost family concept for future air- or land based weapon systems offering an affordable, differentiated armament portfolio suitable for airborne and land-based platforms.

Understand, Shape, Engage, Sustain and Consolidate Cities: Civilian Component of MOUT Katarina Svitkova, Charles University Prague In discussing military operations in urbanized terrain (MOUT), the objective of this contribution is two-fold. First, I offer an analy-tical framework for study of non-combatants’ security in various types of asymmetrical armed conflicts which currently take place in urban areas. These range from internationalized counter-insurgency battles and internal civil wars all the way to civic conflicts, such as large scale disturbances and riots. All these types of political violence have a distinctive common feature, which is that they are urban. Due to increasing urbaniza-tion and the nature of contemporary threats, the use of military-type tools and practices in cities seems to be inevitable in years to come. At the same time, urban operations entail a set of tactical, operational and strategic challenges. This is especially true regarding the issue of non-combatants. Thus, the second key objective of this contribution is to analyze the civilian security component of MOUT. I focus on the Operational directives of the US, France and Spain to explain the non-combatant factor in understanding, shaping, engaging, sustaining and consolidating cities in conflict situations.
