Integrating simulation and training systems is hard. Legacy systems use differing standards for data, voice, and video. Modern architectures demand the use of cloud-based and distributed assets. New security requirements challenge integrators to become experts in information assurance. While these challenges drive integration time up, meeting today’s emerging threats requires training environments that can be quickly assembled and reconfigured from ready-made components. Attend this tutorial to learn how Data Distribution Service (DDS) eases integration while providing NSA-tested security in real-time systems.
The Data Distribution Service (DDS) is an open standard managed by the Object Management Group. DDS is the connectivity framework that successfully meets the stringent interoperability and real-time requirements of the defense industry in hundreds of deployed systems. DDS seamlessly stitches together legacy simulations while adding humans and hardware in the loop to create new secure live, virtual, and constructive environments sharing real, augmented, and virtual realities. These run in a single lab or across multiple sites while matching physics-speed response times.
This tutorial introduces the DDS and DDS Secure standards. You will learn how to use DDS Secure to secure real-world Hardware-In-Loop (HIL) systems that already communicate over DDS to distributed Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) Simulations. The tutorial will describe how to integrate DDS with existing simulation-based standards such as HLA and DIS while adding robust security. Finally, the tutorial will provide some recent experiences of the use of DDS and an overview of deployed systems using DDS today. This tutorial is intended for all audiences; however, some familiarity with basic principles of distributed computing is recommended.
