A DDS-based distributed simulation for anti-air missile systems

This paper introduces the development of a distributed air-defense engagement simulation model based on data distribution service (DDS). To design and develop effectively, system developers need a high-resolution engagement simulation including complex engineering-level models and operational scenario models. Increasing the resolution of the model results in the growing model's complexity which requires greater resources than that of a single computer. We tried to build a distributed engagement model using AddSIM-DDS which combines the Advanced distributed simulation environment (AddSIM) and DDS. We describe an air-defense scenario, overall structure of the model, and simulation construction on distributed nodes. We also define several DDS topic types for interoperation. Finally, we provide the results that show the validity and effectiveness of the DDS-based distributed simulation.
