Main_Body_Multi: Research Task Group on ‘NATO Standards for Federated Simulation and Services for Integration, Verification and Certification’


NATO relies every day on distributed simulation based on the High Level Architecture (HLA) interoperability standard for a wide range of applications. Interoperability standards are needed, even mandatory, to build reliable federations of simulations. To meet new and evolving simulation interoperability requirements, there is a continued need for NATO to experiment with, update, and further evolve Standards for Federated Simulation. In addition, the integration of different simulation systems into a Federated Simulation in preparation of exercises and experiments still require a considerable effort in terms of time and personnel. In order to reduce this effort, a tool is needed that supports the integration of simulations in federations, verifies the conformance of the standard specifications, and evaluates the interoperability capabilities through predefined scenarios. In spring 2021, the Research Task Group (RTG) had a running start on ‘NATO Standards for Federated Simulation and Services for Integration, Verification and Certification’ to continue the work of the RTG on ‘Evolution of NATO Standards for Federated Simulation’. The Team will work for 3 years on evolving the NATO simulation interoperability standard AMSP-04 ‘NATO Education and Training Network (NETN) Federation Architecture and Federation Object Model (FOM) Design’ , the NATO HLA Certification Process and the Integration, Verification and Certification Tool (IVCT). The group will deliver an updated version (Ed C) of the AMSP-04 NETN FOM, based on the Real-Time Platform Reference Federation Object Model (RPR-FOM) v3.0 and HLA 4 standards, updated versions of the IVCT and executable Test Cases to support integration, verification and testing of compliance with the HLA and NETN standards, as well as an updated Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to support the NATO HLA Certification Process
