Open Architectures and LVC Integration

Open Architectures and Live, Virtual, Constructive Integration

Areas of interest: Simulation, Interoperability, Military

Date: 20 & 21 January 2020

Price: $1,750

About the course

This course is designed to teach participants how to design, build and integrate live, virtual, constructive (“LVC”) federations using principles of open architecting, interoperability, composability and reuse.

Participants learn about the challenges inherent in designing and integrating LVC federations at the modelling, simulation and composition level. The course will rely on hands-on applications with a realistic use case and focus on lectures in the first half followed by hands-on practicum implementing the topic of that day.

Participants will work in small groups to independently develop models then work together to integrate them using the LVC principles described during the course.

The application of this course is the integration of people and systems in support of large-scale multinational military training events.

Learning Outcomes:

• Design and evaluate an LVC federation.
• Solve socio-technical problems using a system-of-systems approach.
• Learn how to integrate LVC federations including security, analysis and visualisation.

Topics covered

• Concept of Interoperability and Composability
• Interoperability and Distributed Simulation
• Model-based Data Engineering for Composable Models
• Simulation Interoperability Standards – HLA, DIS, RTI
• Towards M&S as a Service
• Verification, Validation and Accreditation
• Military Interoperability Challenges Case Study

Who should attend?

Participants should have work experience with the Department of Defence or similar government departments, and should have some basic understanding of military operations, data management and simulation-based training.

• Defence Simulation Managers
• Synthetic Training Planners
• Simulation Support Technicians
• Simulation Support Engineers
