Computer-Generated Forces at the Warfighter Training Research Division

Abstract : The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is exploring a new concept in its training called Distributed Mission Training (DMT) that will build toward the Air Force (AF) service-specific synthetic battlespace (SB). DMT is a shared training environment comprised of live, virtual, and constructive simulations that allow warfighters to train individually or collectively at all levels of war. At the Warfighter Training Research Division of Air Force Research Laboratory at Mesa, AZ. the initial DMT vision has been developed and continues to evolve. The laboratory has a DMT test-bed that integrates virtual, live and constructive simulations for training and research applications. The test-bed has a full toolkit of constructive simulations including Computer Generated Forces (CGF). This paper will provide an overview of these constructive simulations and their use in DMT training and experiments.
