SWaPS The Simulation Warfighting and Parsing System A Digital Interface into the U.S Army Force XXI Experiments

摘要

The SWaPS /TSIU interface demonstration to the FBCB2 was a success and met all of the goals that it set out to satisfy. The SWaPS parsing system provided that a virtual environment could populate a real world FBCB2 without the knowledge to the users that virtual simulation s were providing tactical messages. This interface proves also that dissimilar tactical message formats could be interfaced between virtual simulators and real-world Tactical Internet Commander s terminals. By bringing together the capabilities for the TSIU and SWaPS, the opportunities for support of advanced digital communications modeling is provided. This infrastructure will support the examination of issues of digital communications with Computer Generated Forces (CGF) and the facilities to review system bandwidth requirements for high fidelity simulations of digital communications. The demonstration confirmed that virtual simulations utilizing the digital connectivity through the TSIU can stimulate actual battlefield tactical systems without the knowledge of the user that all of the Aviation components are man in the loop simulations. It would be recommended that work on the TSIU/SWaPS continue to develop parsing calls and the necessary functions to convert all available messages.
