Mission Training through DistributedSimulation for NATO and Nations
RAeS18, 13-14 Nov 2018
• Missions in complex environments (e.g. littoral, hybrid)
– Quality and value of training
• Increasing limitations for Live mission training
– Operational (signature & emissions)
– Environmental
– Cost and availability of systems and people to support training
• More out-of-area operations
– International coalitions
– Short preparation time
MTDS Addresses Training Gaps due to:

MTDS Ambition
Mission Simulation Environment
(Common Technical Framework)
• LVC capable
• Flexible, extendable, reusable
• Fair-fight / fair-play
• Distr. planning, briefing & debriefing
• Multi Level Security

RAeS18, 13-14 Nov 2018
• Complex organization (many actors of different disciplines)
– Lack of efficient process for planning, preparation, execution, and analysis of training
• Security policies- Restricted data exchange between participating assets
• Technical complexity of creating an MTDS exercise– Lack of common (Reference) Architecture and standards
NATO MTDS Challenges
RAeS18, 13-14 Nov 2018
Architecture & Standards
• Architecture and Standards are needed to manage (technical) complex systems in an effective and efficient way
• A Standard enables unrelated parties to independently implement solutions that provide interoperability between them
Picture: Willert Software Tools
RAeS18, 13-14 Nov 2018
Reference Architecture
A template for the architecture of a concrete MTDS simulation environment (Solution Architecture) consisting of:
• Architecture Building Blocks
• Available Solution Building Blocks
• Patterns/approaches to solve common problems
• Requirements and standards:
– Reference simulation environment agreements
– Reference data exchange models
RAeS18, 13-14 Nov 2018
Architecture Building Block (ABB)- Captures application and
technology requirements- Lists applicable standards- Directs and guides the
development/acquisition of SBBs
Examples:- Message Oriented Middleware
Services; standards include HLA IEEE 1516-2010
- Radio Services
Solution Building Block (SBB)- Defines the component that is
used to implement the functionality
- Defines the implementation- Is vendor-aware
Examples:- Pitch HLA-RTI- ASTi Radio Simulator

The M&S standards profile is a so-called
NATO “Allied Publication” (reference AMSP-
01)
• Identify standards of interests
for NATO M&S;
• Include all relevant STANAGs
and underpin mandatory use
• Advice on ‘good practice’ standards (and
not impose);
• Provide basic information on standards of
interest;
• Identify gaps and propose new initiatives;

Closing Thoughts
• Modelling and Simulation is a critical technology forsupporting Current and Future Operations
• M&S Architecture and Standardisation activities are fundamental to manage complexity and exploit national and NATOs M&S potential
Modelling and Simulation contributes tosaving lives, saving time and money andpreparing the warfighter better,faster and cheaper.
