Abstract

We demonstrated an integrated battlespace simulation on advanced AWACS prototype network, supporting realistic C⁴I applications such as real time battle management, SAR image processing and analysis, and air tasking order monitoring. We first describe an integrated battlespace simulation and its demonstration scenario, then the ATM testbed for integrated battlespace simulation in both ATM LAN Emulation and Classical IP over ATM multicast configurations. Finally, we describe the network performance test (with netperf and nttcp benchmark tools) and the application performance test (with AWACS mission computer program and display console program) of FDDI, ATM LAN Emulation, and Classical IP over ATM networks
