Dynamic Synthetic Environments for Distributed Simulation

NATO Modelling and Simulation Group - MSG-156 Contrary to real world environments, synthetic environments used in distributed military simulations are often static and unable to adapt to changes caused by e.g. deteriorating weather conditions or combat engineering during scenario execution. To better train and prepare our military personnel for dynamic real-world conditions, the synthetic environment needs to support such dynamic modifications in a standardized and interoperable way to provide a consistent representation across dissimilar simulation systems. The objective of MSG-156 is to define best practices, required methodologies and technologies and requirements for standards needed to achieve a correlated dynamic SE in future distributed simulation exercises.
