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

ABSTRACT: The United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) have sponsored two key development activities relating to the OneSAF Computer Generated Forces (CGF) system and development of a Common Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) modelling capability. The first is an interface to enable OneSAF

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

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

ABSTRACT: A number of approaches are currently in use to allow limited sharing of data between simulationsrunning at different native classification levels, but each have their associated issues which prevent full interoperability. This presents users and accreditors alike with a unique set of challenges. Building on the work presented to

SISO SIWzie award winner ABSTRACT: The HLA Evolved specification describes a number of FOM Module merging principles whereby classes, data types, etc. from different modules can be merged into the FOM of a federation. Based upon practical experiences with FOM modules, this paper proposes three additional capabilities for the next

ABSTRACT: The first part of the HLA tutorial, based on HLA Evolved, released in 2012, was well received by both industry and academia. It is used, for example, for teaching distributed simulation in universities and also in the Smackdown project, originally initiated in SISO. The focus of the tutorial is
