scalability with few limitations. Aug- menting live hardware with emulation provides the customer with a good pic- ture of how the technology is going to interact in the full SoS network environ- ment before development gets too far along. Furthermore, users of the system won’t have to pull radios, unmanned aerial systems or vehicles out of the field to use as training or laboratory assets.


Te MODESTA infrastructure would also support System of Systems Engi- neering and Integration Directorate initiatives such as the Always On – On- Demand Environment


for Networks


and Net-Centric Systems, which seeks to federate labs across DOD to allow for large-scale testing, evaluation and anal- ysis. In essence, that means connecting labs at different locations via high-speed fiber optics so that, federated, they appear to be one single lab when doing analysis. CERDEC is now partnered with PEO C3T to build a brigade-scale, high-fidelity M&S environment where we’ll be replicating a future capability set for the Army, using high-fidelity emula- tion of a full brigade and live hardware from the CERDEC C4ISR Systems Integration Laboratory (CSIL).


WHAT’S NEXT CERDEC has completed the creation of the data model and structure behind MODESTA and is working on wave- form developments to support future capability set analysis. Te engineers have put in place much of the code that defines the open architecture and pro- vides the links between the data model and the M&S tools.


We’re leveraging labs within CERDEC S&TCD, such as the CSIL and CERDEC C4ISR Ground Activity that have expertise in using M&S to support large- scale assessments such as the Network

ECONOMIES OF SCALABILITY MODESTA’s framework enables seamless interaction between live hardware and emulated systems, allowing increased scalability with few limitations. This provides customers with a good picture of how the technology is going to interact in the full SoS network environment early in the development process. CERDEC is partnering with PEO C3T to build a brigade-scale, high-fidelity M&S environment that will replicate a future capability set for the Army, using high-fidelity emula- tion of a full brigade and live hardware.

Integration Evaluations (NIE). Te CSIL can simulate a slice of a brigade-sized tactical network and replicate ter- rain, foliage and movement, allowing a system to react naturally as those com- ponents change. CERDEC C4ISR Ground Activity has experience running large-scale traffic in the field, using live- virtual-constructive M&S capabilities to perform field-based risk reduction. Tey can also perform force-on-force simula- tion, which allows us to include tactically


relevant movement


information in the MODESTA environment.


Externally, we’re leveraging the high- performance computing systems of ARL MNMI and are working with them on waveform development. We’re also working with the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command’s Architecture Integration and Management Director- ate to format our data aggregation so that the operational community and the
