AddSIM: A new Korean engagement simulation environment using high resolution models

AddSIM is a simulation environment for integrating models such as platforms, sensors, command and control systems, and shooters into the same synthetic battle field. AddSIM aimed to integrate the models which were developed and used during each weapon system development phase. AddSIM consists of four components; user interface including resource repositories, simulation engine (kernel), external interface, and support services. The user interface is a set of tools to make models, set-up scenarios, check execution options, run the kernel, and analyze the simulation results. The kernel can manage discrete-event and discrete-time hybrid simulations and run the simulation in stand-alone or distributed modes. It can also support parallel simulations. AddSIM can interoperate with legacy models in various forms, C/C++, MATLAB, HLA/RTI, and DIS, through the AddSIM external interface functions. The support services are environmental services (terrain, atmosphere, and maritime), spatial service, journaling/logging service, and utility service.
