Virtual Proving Ground Distributed Test and Evaluation (DTE) Architecture Milestone 4.0 (ARCH MS 4) Focus Group Test Event: Aberdeen Test Center Contribution Summary
Abstract
The Virtual Proving Ground Distributed Test and Evaluation (DTE) Architecture Milestone 4.0 (ARCH MS 4) Focus Group Test Event was executed 26 January 2005 among the seven geographically distributed U.S. Army Developmental Test Command test centers. The U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) integrated a Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) (1) application that correctly trans-located vehicle position from ATC to the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) terrain. These vehicle data were not read directly from an Advanced Distributed Modular Acquisition System (ADMAS) device as was originally intended. Also, the vehicle position trans-location algorithm was embedded into the TENA application. Ideally, this trans-location service should be a data filter that is optionally applied to the ground truth position as it is read from ADMAS or the vision digital library system (VDLS). Further work is needed to integrate the filter translation into the ATC instrumentation data collection system as a java component. Doing so should allow ATC position coordinates to be translocated to WSMR coordinates in the same manner that any ADMAS data channel is interpreted for display (i.e., integrated into the normal ATC data collection and presentation process). The vision TENA ADMAS system at the ATC instrumentation development team also needs to be modified to facilitate different object models (a TENA object switch ). Following this, a direct ADMAS read (and translation) could be tested and be ready for future uses.
