The war-gaming training system based on HLA distributed architecture

This paper describes the design of HLA distributed architecture to support an interactive, interoperable, and collaborative war-gaming simulation using Java technology and IEEE standard 1516-High Level Architecture (HLA). Based on the run-time infrastsructure (RTI) services which are specified in HLA and Java application programming interface (API) of the RTI, the proposed distributed virtual environment (DVE) provides a practical foundation to enhance interactivity, portability, and interoperability for distributed simulation. Moreover, we build up a 3D synthetic virtual world for aircraft simulator by means of Java 3D API in which Java 3D technology could support a simple, portable, and flexible programming model for 3D scene construction. From the system implementation and experimental results, we show that the proposed HLA distributed architecture is a practical and scalable design that is applicable for a wide variety of moderate DVEs.
