The Joint Warfare System (JWARS) is a Department of Defense simulation of modern warfare being developed in Visual Age Smalltalk. The purpose is not only to model new weapons, but also to provide decision making, logistics, weather, mobility, and the collection and dissemination of information from sensors. It uses a Global Coordinate System to model a round earth and  to access global terrain databases. Objects on the battlefield are called BattleSpace Entities (BSEs). BSEs   are composed using a black-box framework that allows JWARS to model both existing and future weapon configurations. Argonne National Labs wrote the GeoViewer 2D-display manager package in Smalltalk. JWARS will be demonstrating a scenario depicting the invasion of Quebec after it secedes from Canada.
