Data Quality Challenges in Distributed Live-Virtual-Constructive Test Environments

摘要

Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) simulations are complex systems comprising a combination of live (real people operating real equipment), virtual (real people operating simulated equipment or vice versa), and constructive (wholly simulated) entities. Nodes in the system support the simulation of one or more entities and are often geographically distributed to leverage unique assets (e.g., physical test range space or high-fidelity full motion simulators). Nodes are connected in a peer-to-peer fashion and communicate using protocols such as Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) [DIS Steering Committee 1998], the High Level Architecture (HLA) [Dahmann et al. 1997], or the Test and Training Enabling Network Architecture (TENA) [Powell and Noseworthy 2012].
