Training for Dynamic Aerospace Control: An Experiment in International Distributed Mission Training

Abstract

High-fidelity virtual simulators and constructive simulations located in the District of Columbia Mesa, AZ; and Crawley, England were linked over commercial communications lines (Internet and Integrated Services Digital Network) using Distributed Interactive Simulation protocols. This distributed simulation network supported relatively complex mission scenarios that were flown repeatedly over a period of three days. This experiment demonstrated the capability of existing technology to support international Distributed Mission Training (DMT), enabled the engineering community to document the performance that technology, and identified specific technological limitations. It also enabled the operational and training communities to evaluate the potential utility of DMT for coalition training. The data collected and the lessons learned in this demonstration will help enhance the technical performance of DMT and reduce the time and expense required to develop an international DMT capability.
