Development of Simulation Services to Support Military Experimentation
Abstract
One certainty for the future of warfare is change. To be prepared for tomorrow's new challenges, Defence requires organisational flexibility and innovation. A Joint Synthetic Environment (JSE) may facilitate this capacity for change and innovation across Defence. A JSE would link existing and emerging synthetic environments such virtual air, land and maritime platforms; C4ISR, EW and IO simulations developed in DSTO, industry and by our allies through the use of interoperable standards and simulation services based on High Level Architecture (HLA). The extension of the Experimental Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Technology Environment (EXC3ITE) network to support the use of distributed simulation and military synthetic environments is examined from a corporate research perspective. Issues from operational, systems and technical perspectives are presented, addressing the use of emerging simulation middleware (e.g., HLA), in harmony with legacy simulation standards. Recommendations are made for progressing the development of simulation services, which will require a response from industry to develop as a National capability to underpin future military experimentation and innovation in Australia.
