Towards a Persistent NATO Distributed Synthetic Training Capability

Keywords

INTEROPERABILITY;M&S;SIMULATIONS;STANDARDS

Program Description

Standards provide interoperability and reduce time and cost to deliver effective solutions. This is especially true in the synthetic training domain where a mix of existing and/or newly developed components often need to be integrated in a short timeframe. M&S standardization leads from NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG), the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) will describe their ongoing efforts in the context of the NATO initiative for a persistent Distributed Synthetic Training (DST) capability.

You will gain renewed appreciation for the value of standards and more in-depth understanding of how they are developed, adopted, supported, and maintained. If you attended the NMSG-SISO session last year, plan to join again this year to get an update on NATO and SISO standards development products for the training domain.
