Enhanced Terrain Capabilities JTLS 5. 0 – Terrain Held In 32 -Bit Word Terrain Layer(1 - 10) – Maximum 1023 Layers Terrain X-Grid(11 -21) – Maximum 2047 X-Grids Terrain Y-Grid(22 -32) – Maximum 2047 Y-Grids Each Layer Could Have 2047 Or By 2047 Grid Matrix 4, 190, 209 Grids Possible Per Layer ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation December 2018 2

Enhanced Terrain Capabilities Terrain Generally Needed More Terrain Layers Solution – Create Fewer Large Terrain Layers Result More Grids Than Necessary More Processing ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation December 2018 3

Enhanced Terrain Capabilities What We Do Know About Speed Too Many Units In A Grid Cause A Slowdown Unnecessary What Grids Cause A Slowdown We Don’t Know About Speed How Many Units In A Grid Is Acceptable How Many Grids Are Acceptable What Is The Effect Of Really Small Grids Less Than 5 Minute Grids 1 -Minute, 30 -Second, and 15 -Second Grids ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation December 2018 7

Enhanced Terrain Capabilities We Plan On Getting Answers To These Questions As Soon As JTLS 5. 1 Is Officially Delivered Hopefully We Leveraging NATO’s Trident Juncture Exercise With New Terrain Definition Can See Improvement ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation December 2018 8
