Use of the Analytical System as the Decision Support System for the HLA Joint Training Environment

This paper proposes an approach to join the analytical system to the real-time operational war game system. The interoperability issues of these two heterogeneous war game systems are fully explored in this paper. The purpose of interoperability among heterogeneous systems is to extend the capability of the joint systems beyond their originally designed purposes. This paper starts with the purpose of interoperability to categorize the types of the heterogeneous joint simulation. The technical issue and architecture of the heterogeneous joint simulation environment are then explored. Our experiment shows that the proposed method of using the analytical system as the decision support system is feasible and efficient approach to provide a heterogeneous joint training environment
