USAF Distributed Mission Operations, an ADF Synthetic Range Interoperability Model and an AOD Mission Training Centre Capability Concept Demonstrator - What are They and Why Does the RAAF Need Them

摘要

Today simulation technology allows warfighters to participate in a continuous training cycle and maintain a high state of combat readiness by using cost-effective simulation alternatives in conjunction with live-fly operations and training missions. Current development of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) systems for training and mission rehearsal, the rapid advancement of networking technologies and protocol standards/architectures such as Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) and High Level Architecture (HLA) have all contributed to an environment where highly-distributed training, mission rehearsal, operations support, and multi-force Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) joint/coalition exercises have become a reality. The objective of this report is to offer guidance on how to progress towards such a highly interoperable, LVC synthetic environment. Corporate LVC interoperability standards, processes, common applications and databases need to be developed so that LVC systems can be appropriately specified, delivered and accepted with an already useable level of corporate interoperability that will enable coalition LVC training 'out-of-the-box'. An AOD, Air Battle Management, Mission Training Centre (MTC) Capability Concept Demonstrator, that will provide guidance to assist the RAAF to migrate to a highly interoperable, DMO compliant, LVC synthetic environment (including a coalition training focussed, RAAF MTC), has been proposed.
