Development and Engineering of a Distributed Interactive Simulation System.
Abstract
The Depth and Simultaneous Attack (D&SA) Battle Lab and the Fort Sill Field Element of the Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED), U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), collaborated to establish a fire support command and control (FSC2) test bed. The core of the FSC2 test bed is an interface that allows fire support command and control tactical equipment to interact in a seamless manner with computer-generated equipment and forces on the synthetic battlefield. The interface was accomplished using communications protocols that comply with the requirements outlined in the distributed interactive simulation (DIS) protocol data unit (PDU) standards 2.0.3. The objective of the project was to establish an environment that could be used to support the development of simulations-based training initiatives and to support the concept development process, and the research, development and acquisition phase of the materiel acquisition process through the development of a methodology for testing and evaluating materiel, organizational, and doctrinal alternatives during depth and simultaneous attack. Included in this report is a description of the design and development of the FSC2 test bed and an interface control document that describes in detail the hardware and software necessary to establish the interface.
