RTI 2.0 Architecture

A recent DMSO (Defense Modeling and Simulation Office) initiative resulted in a new RTI design and build effort. This paper describes the design constructs used in the RTI 2.0 architecture and the driving principles used throughout the design process. Key architectural features are identified and analyzed in terms of meeting the RTI's set of requirements. Concepts such as system scalability, runtime performance, federation-specific tuning, reliability, and maintainability are discussed within the confines of the RTI 2.0 architecture. This paper presents information representing the HLA development process underway by the DMSO and the DoD AMG (Architecture Management Group).
