Abstract

The military owned simulation systems are facing legacy situation causing sky-high maintenance cost and unstable condition. It would be costly and risky for retiring them without considering life extension alternative. The objective of this research is to provide a feasible concept for migrating the structure of aged Tactical Training Simulation (TTS) system to High Level Architecture (HLA), which not only can retain the original feature but also offer an extra function of interoperability. This research offers a solution for military legacy simulation systems and paves the way for creating the synthetic battlefield environment that military can benefit its training, planning, acquisition and resource allocation.
