The Cost Effective Development of HLA Federations for Computer-Assisted Exercises (CAX)

Abstract

The use of Computer Assisted exercises (CAX) for the training of NATO staff personnel has been exploited successfully for quite a long time. To satisfy the statements. of the NATO Modelling and Simulation Master plan, and thereby to intensify the cost saving effect for simulation systems (a CAX is a kind of a simulation system), NATO decided to conduct the PATHFINDER experiment as the successor of the DiMuNDS 2000 project. One important issue is to establish a generic interconnection to a Command Information System (CIS) that may be re-used in future applications. This paper suggests based on a number of lessons noted, limitations, and deficiencies from DiMuNDS 2000 a bunch of measures, which should be addressed within PATHFINDER (and beyond) and any federated simulation supported CAX. These issues may be divided into the following areas: Technical Management, Administrative Management, Modelling, and Technical Infrastructure.
