C3I and Modelling and Simulation (M&S) Interoperability

摘要

Among various military applications of M&S within the Alliance, Operational Support and Training are identified as high priority areas. To support these areas, interoperability of legacy and future Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) and Modelling & Simulation (M&S) applications is required. The NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG) Conference (MSG-022) 'C3I and M&S Interoperability' was conducted in Antalya, Turkey from 9 to 10 October 2003. All sessions of the Conference were unclassified. The conference focused on: * Lessons learned from past experience in linking C3I and M&S, * Current Joint use of C3I and M&S in Computer Assisted Exercises (CAX), * Interoperability and data standards, * Future projects. Two keynote speeches, one capstone document, and 19 papers were presented covering NATO efforts as well as efforts of the nations. Furthermore, the results of organizations dealing with the issues of C3I and M&S interoperability were presented as well, in particular the work of Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) and the European Co-Operation for the Long-term in Defence (EUCLID). The conference presented state-of-the-art solutions, helped to define future Research & Development domains, and gave an overview of the contribution capability of the participating nations and organizations.
