Distributed Training Network Guard Trusted Bridge Federate Initial Capabilities Demonstration: After Action Report
Abstract
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Warfighter Training Research Division (AFRL/HEA) located in Mesa AZ, and the Information Systems Division (AFRL/IFS) in Rome NY, in conjunction with Trusted Computer Solutions Inc. (TCS) of Herndon VA (the primary development contractor) conducted an initial capabilities demonstration of the Distributed Training Network Guard (DTNG) Trusted Bridge Federate (TBF) on 25 July 2002. The DTNG program will design and develop both a TBF and a companion Security Reclassification Rule Set Intelligent Assistant Tool (SRRSIAT). Collectively, these two components are referred to as the DTNG. The TBF is the physical real-time automated network guard component that supports two-way data transfer between simulation federations operating at different security levels. The SRRSIAT is a stand-alone interactive graphical user interface application that provides the federation security classification/domain expert with the capability to develop and review classification rules that govern the transfer of objects, attributes, interactions, parameters, and the execution of cross security level Run-Time Infrastructure operations for cross federation object models. Although the initial capabilities of the TBF were successfully demonstrated through a series of test vignettes, there were several lessons learned throughout the integration effort and the demonstration event. The hope is that the lessons will serve to improve the future demonstration.
