The Missile Defense Battle Integration Center (MDBIC) will provide computer generation of the complete set of joint TMD assets via the Extended Air Defense Testbed (EADTB) augmented by Modular Semi-Automated Forces (ModSAF). The MDBIC has demonstrated the capability of the EADTB and ModSAF, operating in tandem through distributed interactive simulation (DIS), to model all elements of the TMD "pillars" in real time.The EADTB is a state-of-the art constructive simulation with DIS compliance demonstrated at the prototype level and scheduled for delivery in September 1996. A High Level Architecture (HLA) translator is also under development. The rapidly expanding EADTB capability allows simulated entities such as weapon systems to be modeled independently as objects on the gameboard. These "models within the model" can be selected, modified, or developed by the user.The MDBIC manages a master library that currently contains a complete set of extended air defense system models. All three services have initiated development of TMD active-defense models to be validated and certified by the system proponent offices for specific ranges of applications. The MDBIC will thus augment any DIS or HLA exercise with a full suite of computer-generated joint TMD assets including proponent-certified active-defense system entities.
