real time simulation with hla and dds
DESCRIPTION
NADS invite you to the commercial presentation of the new release of SimWare. SimWare 4.0 is the first Real Time Simulation framework fully compliant with IEEE HLA and OMG DDS standards. The right cohabitation of HLA and DDS enables the development of a simulation system like a Federation of Simulations Assets, fully interoperable with critical assets in a Net-Centric environment. In this presentation you will know about the fundamentals of SimWare framework, its architecture and how the cohabitation of DDS and HLA helps to the rapid development of a real time simulation system with a fully distributed and scalable architecture. You also will know how improve the interoperability of your simulation systems to a subsystems level.TRANSCRIPT

DDS based solutions can be applied to:- Convergence of Simulation Distributed
Architectures- Interoperable Open Architecture for a
Simulator
VirtualPrototype
- Gateways solutions are difficult to develop, upgrade and maintain. We need convergence of simulation architectures. We need common datamodels and protocols and data distribution mechanisms
- We have restrictions in performance
- We don’t have plug&play capability, we need open architectures in the simulator.

Simulation today: Use of different standards
• HLA and DIS cover more than the 70% of the demand. Both are standards embraced by IEEE and SISO and known worldwide
• These architectures have significant overlap in capabilities and requirements

Evolution of standards in simulation
SIMNET
•First Distributed Simulation for US Army.
•Developed by DARPA in the 80’s.
DIS
•Based on SIMNET
•IEEE 1278 std
•NATO standard (STANAG 4482) until 2010
HLA
•Born in the 90’s
•IEEE 1516 standard since 2000
•NATO standard (STANAG 4603)
TENA
•HLA evolution for Test and training ranges.
•Design to improve reliability, interoperability and performance over HLA
•An US DoD standard only
CTIA
•Service-oriented paradigm•Provide some level of service even in unreliable communication networks
•Advanced service capabilities
•Developed by Looked Martin
THE FUTURE
•Convergence of services between HLA, TENA and CTIA
•Common object model
•Common interoperability mechanism
•Security requirements

Is HLA enough?
Simulation Experts demand an evolution of the Standards
NTSA market survey : Training 2015: Requirements - Trends - Forecasts for the Decade Ahead
Effective networking of simulators will require a common architecture and industry wide standards. Over the years, the High Level Architecture has provided the foundation for this standard, but going forward these standards will need to expand to accommodate new capabilities and new participants. The NASMP needs normalized, consistent architecture and a well articulated business case to justify the investment in the NASMP.

New challenges for simulation systems
New applications:
Virtual Military Exercises
Mission Rehearsals
Battle Labs
New requirements
Seamless interoperability: Different architectures and protocols must communicate directly
Improved Quality of Service: Control of the data in time and space, control of local resources
Fault Tolerance: allow to continue to operate when some part of the system fails
Information Assurance: security services (e.g. identification, authentication, confidentiality, integrity, availability, anti-spoofing, …)
Interface with the Global Information Grid.
Load Balancing: Balancing the workload among multiple nodes
