Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology II (ADST-II) Dismounted WarriorNetwork Front End Analysis Experiments

摘要

The Dismounted Warrior Network (DWN) is an integrated collection of virtualindividual combatant (VIC) simulators designed for dismounted infantry (DI) operations. This report briefly overviews the DWN program and summarizes engineering and user experiments designed to exercise a proof of concept DWN system. These experiments explored the utility of a DWN system as a research and analysis tool for investigating how best to represent DI in virtual simulation. Based on their results as well as current research and development requirements, a follow-on, improved DWN system is being designed to extend the concept to operations in restricted terrain virtual environments.
