Planning and Execution of a Large LVC Multi-Architecture Distributed Event (Room S320B)

27 Nov 17
8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Distributed simulation technologies have changed the way the DoD does RD&E, training, analysis, and testing. These technologies and associated standards have been in use for 20 years and have been documented in many forums. However a critical element that has not been widely documented is the processes and tools required to execute a large multi-architecture distributed event. There are organizations that do these types of events very well, but the only way for the new practitioner to lean these skills is to be a member of one of these teams. This tutorial provides a guide to the planning and execution of a large multi-architecture distributed event. This guide will include the steps to planning and executing an event including design of the simulation architecture, planning integration spirals, scenario development and rehearsal, conduct of the event, data collection and analysis. While the steps described in this tutorial are applicable to all large distributed events, special emphasis will be placed on multi-architecture based events. An example will be provided showing how to select architectures and object models. This tutorial is applicable to anyone involved in the development a large test event. The material will be applicable to simulation architects, analysts, scenario developers, simulation users, and managers.
