PEO Soldier Simulation Road Map V - The MATREX Federation

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to continue to build a capability for PEO Soldier to assess the platoon level effectiveness of different soldier equipment architectures using distributed simulation. Three combat models - IWARS, OneSAF, and COMBAT XXI. are integrated via the High-Level Architecture (HLA) in order to provide this capability. This year's effort focused on developing and demonstrating a runtime interaction between IWARS and OneSAF. In addition, a systems engineering methodology is proposed and demonstrated for driving federated simulation development with operational requirements. This methodology relies heavily upon the Military Missions and Means Framework, the Federation Development and Execution Process, and Model Driven Architectures. Successful integration was achieved with a squad-level scenario, and continued development will refine this federation by joining COMBAT XXI, adding analysis capabilities, and preparing for verification and validation.
