Abstract:

Semi-Automated Forces SAFOR are a key component of the Distributed Interactive Simulation DIS environment. A SAFOR capability is being developed for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer CCTT production program, which is part of the larger Combined Arms Tactical Trainer CATT effort. Panel discussions were held 27-29 October 1993 on the development of CCTTCATT SAFOR and its ability to exchange ideas and products with all DIS programs. The panel concluded that the widest possible community should develop and share ownership in a CCTTCATT SAFOR product. More specifically 1 The same SAFOR products can and should be used to support both the research and development and the user community 2 Two computationally separate SAFOR lines of development, one based on an Ada environment and one based on a C environment, would inevitably develop discrepancies, become insufficiently coordinated, and should not be pursued 3 The research and development community and other interested communities are unlikely to have either the resources or inclination to migrate to an Ada programming environment 4 Products from CCTTCATT SAFOR development should be made as accessible and adaptable as possible--higher priority should be given to accessibility and adaptability than to life-cycle maintainability 5 CCTTCATT SAFOR development should be pursued using a C andor C programming environment, Semi-Automated Forces SAFOR, Close Combat Tactical Trainer CCTT, Combined Arms Tactical Trainer CATT, Distributed Interactive Simulation DIS.
