JSMARTS Initiative: Advanced Distributed Simulation Across the Government of Canada, Academia and Industry - Technical Description
Abstract
JSMARTS (Joint Simulation, Modeling for Material Acquisition, Requirements, Training and Support), or Joint SMARRT (Simulation and Modeling for Acquisition, Requirements, Rehearsal and Training) represents a new concept for DND (Department of National Defence). It is conceptualized as a vision of M&S (Modeling & Simulation) at the Enterprise level, led by ADM(Mat). In an effort to reduce the technical risk associated with networking simulation stakeholders at various levels of the DND Enterprise, a WAN (Wide Area Network) distributed simulation was executed, regrouping in the same virtual environment (Synthetic Environment) the Government of Canada, Industry and Academia. In this HLA (High Level Architecture) Federation, the national Canarie Network was selected as the common, non-dedicated, unclassified, VPN-encrypted network procuring connectivity between Federates. While CAE Inc. was providing CGF (Computer Generated Forces), DRDC Ottawa's FFSE Section was providing a UAV (Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle) simulator, and a NATO STANAG 4586 compliant Ground Control Station, both supported by the Joint Simulation Network.
