Connectivity for the Highly Dynamic Vehicles in a Real and Synthetic Environment(HYDY) Project. (Reannouncement with New Availability Information)

摘要

This paper describes the Intelligent Gateway/Scaleable Simulation (IGSS) projectcreated to perform research into problems associated with large-scale simulations, combining both real and simulated units on Local Area Networks (LANS) and Wide Ares Networks (WANs). The program's goal is to achieve seamless simulation by providing worldwide access to multilayer simultaneous, realtime, very large virtual warfighting environments composed of 10,000 or more objects. Seamless simulation requires user-friendly, self-configuring, variable-scale environments with essential resolution, and transparent connectivity. The IGSS program's intent to research areas of potential difficulty resulted in the selection of the following subprojects: (1) Integration of highly dynamic live objects with synthetic objects; (2) interoperability of coarse grain (e.g., time step wargames/aggregate units) with fine grain (realtime/individuals units) simulations; (3) interoperability of engineering fidelity simulators with moderate fidelity simulators; and (4) networking of large numbers of objects (10,000 to 100,000) into one simulated warfighting environment.
