Resumen
The article focuses on issues facing the Distributed Mission Training (DMT) community and ways that the High Level Architecture (HLA) supports the development of simulation systems. The article states that flexible, interacting simulations provide a foundation for successful DMT applications. HLA, for simulation systems is designed to facilitate reuse and interoperability of a wide range of virtual and live systems in DMT. HLT is formally defined by three component namely, the interface specification, the object model template and High Level Architecture rules. The motivation behind HLA is that a common architecture allows leveraging investments in simulation capabilities to meet changing user needs. HLT is based on the premise that no single simulation can satisfy requirements of all uses and users. An individual simulation or set of simulations developed for a purpose can be applied to another application under the HLA concept of federation, a composable set of interacting simulations. The intent of HLA is to provide a structure that will support reuse of capabilities available in different simulations.
