Establish technical infrastructure as outlined in this report;

Analyse technical pre-requisites of scenario generation for simulation system under consideration for PATHFINDER.

Analyse data models and interfaces of NATO CIS.

Rapid Generation of Scenarios and Databases for CAX and Operational support

Interop. of Models and simulation in NATO

Modelling and Simulation Course

Standards Development

M&S Support from PATHFINDER Programmes

Extended analyse of NATO CIS and simulation system in terms of data models and interfaces.

Conduct capability demonstration of SIMULTAAN, PSI-SA etc. and explore conditions for use (e.g. licensing, voluntary contribution, etc.

Exploit synergies w/ other NATO or WEAG programs: e.g. JWID, RTP 11.13

Establish common and thorough understanding of Modelling.

Foster standardisation of data models ( e.g. ATCCIS);

Establish/foster NATO representative to OMG

Establish a PATHFINDER programme office

Re-Focusing NMSG TAPs

The Model Driven Archtecture


FE I 5; K. Pixius


The overall recommendation is to establish a dedicated group devoted to the issue ofinterconnecting CIS and simulation systems, this is to be complemented by the followingactivities:

Short-term:

1. Re-focus existing MSG TAPs to identified problem spaces, whereappropriate;

2. Establish virtual PATHFINDER project office;

3. Launch academic approach to M & S;Mid-term:

4. Analyse capabilities of existing national simulation frameworks;

5. Participate in international, non-military standardisation activities, i.e. NATOto join OMG;

6. Analyse data models, standards and architectures as appropriate;Long-term:

7. Establish technical infrastructure to interconnect CIS and simulationsystems.
