Distributive Interactive Simulations (DIS) - Eng Dev

Abstract

The program element "Distributive Interactive Simulations - Engineering Development" applies to the Army's Advanced Simulation Program, which enables operational readiness and the development of concepts and systems for the Future Force through the application of new simulation technology and techniques. The development and application of simulation technology will provide the means to link electronically a range of various simulation tools in a manner that is transparent to the user. The amalgam of simulations and tools is linked together to enable execution of an event; to verify the scenarios, tactics/techniques and procedures; to train testers on new hardware/software; and to conduct trial test runs before costly live field tests. The tools developed are available for reuse by developers and users of simulations throughout the Army. Project C74 provides the resources necessary to perform the formally chartered mission of the Army's Simulation-to-C4I* Interoperability Overarching Integrated Product Team (SIMCI OIPT). (*C4I = Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence.) Project C77, Army Geospatial Data Master Plan, focuses on activities that start with data acquisition from multiple sources and culminate in (1) accurate, robust and timely geospatial data and data management and (2) integration and conversion tools that support multiple battle command, training and mission-rehearsal applications. Project C78 develops the One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) program, which will combine and improve the functionality and behaviors of several current semi-automated forces to provide a single SAF for Army use in simulations. FY 2014 funding for Project C74 continues management of the SIMCI OIPT's Army-wide collaborative, interoperability enhancement activities, including architecture alignment, data model alignment, common standards, components, and products. Project C77 has no FY 2013 funding. Project C78 continues development of software as required to provide OneSAF Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3Is) as prioritized and approved by the Training and Doctrine Command.
