Abstract
 An Approach to Integrating Modeling and Simulation Interoperability Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Brian Spaulding, Jorge Morales Distributed simulations are widely used for training, concept evaluation, and increasingly for operational uses such as embedded training, course-of-action analysis, mission planning/rehearsal, and predictive situational awareness. The Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High Level Architecture (HLA), and Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) are the DoD standard protocols used to link together distributed simulations. These simulations typically have requirements to visualize rapidly-updating, geographically-referenced data that is shared via DIS, HLA or TENA. This means that we need to provide seamless mechanisms to display 2D symbology in ArcMap or 3D models in ArcGlobe that correspond to simulated objects. In this paper, we discuss requirements and approaches for integrating DIS, HLA, and TENA into ArcGIS-based systems, to allow simulated entities to be rapidly displayed and manipulated. This will include a description of the approach used and the lessons learned while incorporating real-time updates into the ArcGIS product framework.
