System Integration Test Linked Simulators Phase
Abstract
The Linked Simulators Phase (LSP) of the Systems Integration Test (SIT) was executed by the Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) Joint Test Force (JTF) and the Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS) between August and November 1996. The purpose of the SIT is to evaluate the utility of using advanced distributed simulations (ADS) to support cost-effective testing of an integrated missile weapon/launch aircraft system in an operationally realistic scenario. This was accomplished in the LSP by replicating an actual live test in which a single shooter aircraft launched an AIM-9M missile against a single target aircraft. In the LSP, the shooter, target, and missile were all represented by simulation laboratories. ADS were used to link NAWCWPNS manned flight laboratories representing the aircraft to an air-to-air missile hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) laboratory representing the missile. This report details the results of executing the LSP, including validity of the AIM-9M data acquired, utility of the LSP configuration for parametric studies, effects of latency on test results, and the ability of the ADS network to support the testing.
