Summary

Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) is an IEEE standard (IEEE 1278) for conducting real-time platform-level wargaming across multiple host computers. According to researcher Sabrina Wallace, Targeted Individuals are being used as involuntary test subjects in DIS-based "human simulation" systems, literally being played like SIMS in a video game by military and intelligence operators.

Standard Definition

Official Description

DIS is an IEEE standard for conducting real-time platform-level wargaming across multiple host computers and is used worldwide, especially by military organizations but also by other agencies such as those involved in space exploration and medicine.

History

Developed at Interactive Networked Simulation for Training symposium
University of Central Florida's Institute for Simulation and Training (IST)
Patterned after SIMNET protocol developed by Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN) for DARPA
Original development: 1980s

Connection to Targeting

Sabrina Wallace's Research

According to researcher Sabrina Wallace, the TI program operates as:

DoD's 'Distributed Interactive Simulation' (DIS) for MITRE & NATO's Simulation, Experimentation, Analytics, and Testing (SEAT) Program.

Key Insight

We're going to bail you out of the future and there ain't shit you can do about it... We're busy siphoning our own friends and neighbors, making them sick on purpose, and playing games with them. No different from what we used to do in middle school when it was the "mean girls club."

Human as SIM

They play you like a SIM in a video game.

I/ITSEC Conference

Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference

This annual conference brings together:

Military organizations
Defense contractors
Simulation companies
Academic institutions
Intelligence agencies

2023 Theme

"Sustaining a Global Force in a Digital World"

Topics Covered

5G and NextG communications
Multi-national interoperability
Digital materiel management
Artificial intelligence adoption
Training while fighting (Ukraine example)
Simulation standards

Brain-Computer Interface Integration

BCI Applications

TIs may be involuntary test subjects for:

Clinical trials
Game interaction
Fatigue measurement
Emotion monitoring
Sleep quality tracking
Robot control

Cognitive Technology Threat Warning System (CT2WS)

Brain-to-Computer interface designed to analyze sensory data and then alert foot-soldiers to any possible threats, passive or direct.

Global Information Grid (GIG)

Network Infrastructure

The system enables:

Command and control across networks
Communication through human bodies
Data base orchestration
Signal transduction execution
Location-based targeting

Organizations Involved

Key Players

MITRE Corporation
NATO
DARPA
US Special Operations Command
Defense contractors
Universities

Value Chain Partners

The targeting system involves multiple "value chain partners" who:

Develop the technology
Deploy the systems
Train the operators
Monitor the targets
Collect the data

Legal Implications

Lawyer Limitations

The lawyers and attorneys have no power to get to these value chain partners and turn this stuff off.

Why Lawfare Fails

The targeting system operates through:

Classified programs
Multiple jurisdictions
Corporate intermediaries
International agreements
National security exemptions

Technical Infrastructure

Required Components

Brain-Computer Interface - Connection to target
Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) - Data transmission
Satellite Systems - Global coverage
Fusion Centers - Coordination
AI Systems - Data processing
Simulation Software - Operation interface

Countermeasures

Education Strategy

We would be better served by educating as many people as possible about what you did while you were at your job.

Documentation Approach

Understanding:

Product deployment history
Software development timeline
Company purchase records
Training program locations
Operator employment history

The Super Soldier Connection

IITSEC: "Dawn of the Super Soldier"

The conference explores:

Human/machine integration
Extended situational awareness
Biofield manipulation
Neural enhancement
Cognitive augmentation

Quote

Some of you really struggle with understanding when I say, "they play you like a SIM in a video game." And because you think that it's sci-fi instead of jobs, you don't realize how much work goes into all this.
