This is news to me, but I'd sure be interested in the results! I'm
currently involved in a fairly large-scale DoD funded simulation project,
using Ada (not because they required Ada, curiously enough), and it would
be very helpful if there was a good supply of standardized off-the-shelf
simulation and expert-system components available to support the project.
Working with fairly green grad students as my programming staff, on the
other hand, I've found that it is a good training venture to put new
grad students to work writing the kinds of generic packages I ought to be
able to get "off the shelf".
The few pieces of software I've been able to get "off the shelf" have been
of remarkably poor quality -- for example, random number generators with
obsessive (MIL-SPECS?) documentation but poor utility, or obviously built
for one application and difficult to shoehorn into other applications.

I have just heard that a modeling and simulation effort of military
systems is underway for the STARS (Software Technology for Adaptable,
Reliable Systems) Foundation. I am very interested in information on
this work in terms of the:
- types of systems being modeled
(e.g., Army C3I, electronic warfare, sonar, etc.)
- objective or purpose
(e.g., real-time emulation for operational testing,
theater level for war gamming, team training,
engineering analysis, etc.)
- types of simulators
(e.g., Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology, Simscript,
deterministic, stochastic, continuous, graphical-2D-3D,
"man in the loop", "hardware in the loop",
microprocessor-based, etc.)
- simulation and modeling standards
(e.g., distributed interactive simulation (DIS),
terrain databases, etc.)
- organizations involved
- level of effort, scope of the work and time durations
- technical descriptions
Any information would be appreciated. I will post a summary if there
is interest.
