High Level Architecture Runtime Infrastructure Test Report
Abstract
Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation Joint Test and Evaluation is an Office of the Secretary of Defense-sponsored joint test force chartered to determine the utility of advanced distributed simulation (ADS) technologies for test and evaluation (T&E). The JADS Electronic Warfare (EW) Test will use high level architecture (HLA) federates to replicate all elements of an actual open air range (OAR) test environment and the selected EW system under test. To determine the utility of ADS technology for EW T&E, JADS will use and evaluate the HLA in a three-phase test program. During the ADS test phases, each OAR test run will be recreated using HLA-compliant federates. This report addresses performance of a key HLA component developed by the Defense Modeling and Simulation Organization (DMSO) called the runtime infrastructure (RTI). Use of the RTI is required to be HLA compliant. Since the RTI provides a new means for dissimilar simulators and facilities to communicate, an additional source of latency is imposed on a test architecture which must be measured, optimized, and controlled for accurate real-time measurement of test events. This work was performed for the JADS EW Test and is the subject of this report.
