Communication Modeling in the Joint Integrated Mission Model (JIMM) and the Air Combat Environment Test & Evaluation Facility (ACETEF)

Abstract

The Joint Integrated Mission Model (JIMM) is a complex analytical model that provides the threat environment and main control for integrated operation of installed system test in the NAVAIR Air Combat Environment Test & Evaluation Facility (ACETEF). JIMM has a highly flexible mechanism for communication known as "user defined messages (UDMs)" that allows specific and detailed modeling of message execution, construction composition, and content. However, because of this flexibility, messages do not possess a static format. Instead, they must be specifically translated given content and context into the required protocols and formats when interfaced with external stimulators. This paper will discuss communication modeling in JIMM, the translation of that modeling in ACETEF, and issues with its associated use in installed systems test.
