Pitch Products Support the New RPR FOM 2.0

The most widely used federation object model used in defense simulation is the Real-Time Platform Reference FOM, standardized by SISO. The RPR FOM is also part of the NATO Education and Training FOM (NETN FOM). Pitch has lead the development of the latest version, RPR FOM 2.0, that has now

Towards RPR FOM 3: Revisiting the Datatypes

ABSTRACT: Version 2 of the Real-time Platform Reference FOM (RPR FOM) has recently been finalized. It is the most widely used FOM for defense simulations. The original purpose of the RPR FOM was to facilitate interoperability between the DIS protocol and HLA federations. Today it is often also used as

Using HLA Object Models for the Analysis of Cross Domain Security Policies

ABSTRACT: Across defence, training equipment, data and scenarios are likely to have different classification levels. Thus it is sometimes necessary for training to be carried out using a federation of participating systemsrunning at different classification levels, but without compromising security rules. This is usually done using guards and filters to

RPR FOM 2.0: A Federation Object Model for Defense Simulations

SISO SIWzie award winner ABSTRACT: The Real-Time Platform Reference Federation Object Model (RPR FOM) is the most widely used FOM for defense simulations. The main focus is on real-time simulation of war fighting scenarios including platforms, humans and weapons, however many related interactions such as radio, logistics and synthetic environments

Solving Common Interoperability Challenges with HLA-to-HLA Bridging

ABSTRACT: Recently there has been a lot of focus on gateways between different simulation standards, like HLA, DIS and TENA, for example as part of the LVC-AR work and several SISO working groups. Bridgingbetween different HLA federations has received little attention. Still, this is a highly useful technique for solving
