The Utility of Advanced Distributed Simulation for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Systems Testing.
Abstract
The Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) Joint Test and Evaluation was chartered by the Deputy Director, Test, Systems Engineering, and Evaluation (Test and Evaluation), Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) in October 1994 to investigate the utility of advanced distributed simulation (ADS) technologies for support of development test and evaluation and operational test and evaluation. The End-To-End (ETE) Test evaluated the utility of ADS to support testing of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. It conducted its test and evaluation utility evaluation in an ADS-enhanced test environment using the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) as one component of a representative C4ISR environment. The ETE Test also evaluated the capability of the JADS Test Control and Analysis Center to control a distributed test of this type and to remotely monitor and analyze test results.
