Modeling and Simulation Network Data Standards

Abstract

This document presents the input and output data standards and formats for four simulations: Advanced Warfighting Simulation, Combined Arms Analysis Tool for the 21st Century, Joint Network Analysis Tool, and OPNET. The Architecture Integration Management Division (AIMD), the Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA), the Communications-Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), and the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Analysis Center (TRAC) collaborated on developing the data descriptions required to produce this document. AMSAA, CERDEC, and TRAC provided simulation input and output requirements. AIMD, with the model agency contributions, developed the organized Department of Defense Architecture Framework integrated dictionaries and built the logical data models. These data standards and formats provide a guide for data requirements in current analyses, and a baseline to develop enhancements in data transfers in future projects.
