A Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) Product Development Group (PDG) is developing a standard for Command and Control System to Simulation System Interoperation (C2SIM). The C2SIM standard will improve upon and replace the current SISO standards Military Scenario Definition Language (MSDL; SISO- STD-007-2008) and Coalition Battle Management Language (C-BML; SISO-STD-011-2014). Current work in the PDG is specifying a core logical data model ontology addressing key areas of C2-to-Simulation interoperation such as initialization and tasking/reporting as well as transformation of the ontology data model to an Extensible Markup Language (XML) schema for implementation. In addition, the PDG has defined initial extensions to the core ontology to represent general military concepts and concepts particular to land operations suitable for implementation, demonstration, and evaluation of the standard in a distributed environment. NATO has a Modeling and Simulation Group Technical Activity that is supporting these activities. This paper describes the technical approach and status of development of the C2SIM standard, describing pre-ballot products, a reference implementation, and planned evaluation activities.
