Distributed Synthetic Environment Correlation Assessment Architecture and Metrics

The modeling and simulation industry has long been plagued by errors in synthetic natural environment representations and services which can impact training effectiveness. While synthetic environment errors can arise within a single format or across formats in a single simulator, the problem is greatly exacerbated when networking multiple simulators together over a network. To address these challenges, Dignitas Technologies and subcontractor Aero Simulation Incorporated (ASI) will leverage their extensive experience to provide NAVAIR with a comprehensive solution for distributed simulation correlation testing. Dignitas brings personnel with decades of experience in synthetic environments in general and correlation testing in particular. ASI provides domain knowledge for Navy and Marine Corps flight simulators as well as visual and sensor databases. Team Dignitas will building upon our existing government purpose rights toolset, Correlation Synergy (C-nergy), which provides a user-friendly interface to test and view different geospatial database formats, including the ability to rapidly examine test results, provide different parameters for automated tests, and facilitate manual testing where necessary. C-nergy provides a strong foundation, enabling Team Dignitas to focus on the tough problems encountered with correlation testing across distributed simulations.
