Developing Simulation & Training Solutions With Cots
1 like271 views
Nextel proposes solutions for building simulation and training systems using commercial off-the-shelf components. Their approach uses open middleware standards like HLA and DDS to develop plug-and-play simulation architectures. Their portfolio includes middleware for interoperability, simulation frameworks, and model-driven development tools. Case studies demonstrate how their technologies enable reuse of legacy code and rapid development of distributed simulations.
