The Utility of Advanced Distributed Simulation for Electronic Warfare Testing

Abstract

The Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation Joint Test and Evaluation (JADS JT&E) was chartered by the Deputy Director, Test, Systems Engineering, and Evaluation (Test and Evaluation), Office of the 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 (DT&E) and operational test and evaluation (OT&E). The Electronic Warfare (EW) Test evaluated the utility of ADS to support EW systems testing. The EW Test was built on four discreet efforts intended to provide insight into the limitations of technology supporting ADS, the fundamental requirements that ADS architectures must support for EW T&E, and the application of ADS to EW testing. These efforts were 1) JADS-sponsored and managed self-protection jammer test, 2) OSD CROSSBOW Committee-sponsored Threat Simulator Linking Activity, 3) Defense Modeling and Simulation Organization (DMSO)-sponsored High Level Architecture (HLA) Engineering Protofederation (EPF), and 4) Army-sponsored Advanced Distributed Electronic Warfare System (ADEWS) development program. Each effort is described and results are discussed in this report.
