RealWorld

Abstract

The RealWorld program exploited technical innovation and integration to provide any U.S. warfighter with the ability to open a laptop computer and rehearse a specific mission in the relevant geo-specific terrain, with realistic physics. Because the system is scalable and distributed, a warfighter can practice by himself, in a small group, or with as many other warfighters as needed for the mission over a local or distributed network, and across all relevant platforms (dismounts, vehicles, helicopters, and fast movers). Most important is the understanding that RealWorld is not a static simulation; it is a simulation builder with applications across the spectrum of modern kinetic and non-kinetic warfare. The program created tools that allow warfighters to rapidly and easily build their own missions through the introduction of new methodology for building simulation software. This methodology and adherence to a highly modular approach has resulted in a fundamental paradigm shift in the acquisition, as well as the construction, of DoD modeling and simulation products.
