FEDspresso - CAFDE Based HLA Federation Development and Implementation Tool Suite

Report developed under SBIR contract. During the Phase II effort, Synetics developed the OMSuiteTM HLA Federation Development Tools - OMCaseTM, OMBuilderTM, OMSpectorTM, OMLexTM, OMNetTM, and OMManagerTM. The OMSuiteTM tool suite provides an integrated tool environment, connected via the Computer Aided Federation Development Environment CAFDE Engine allowing for the integration of third party components, support for on-line collaboration, and assistance in one or more aspects of federation engineering requirements generation, federation construction, and execution transition. The major emphasis was placed on the development of OMCaseTM for requirements capturing, OMBuilderTM for object modeling definition, and OMSpectorTM for providing federation adaptability. The OMSuiteTM tool suite has been sold to several U.S. companies and to the Canadian government. Additionally, OMSuiteTM is being used in the development of the large-scale simulation at the TEAMs facility at NSWCDD, Dahlgren, Virginia. The Synetics OMSuiteTM development team has also published and presented many papers for the Simulation Interoperability Workshops, contributed to refining of FEDEP processes, and assisted in leading the Base Object Models BOMs methodology effort within the SISO community.
