NADS and Presagis have agreed to team up to promote modeling & simulation (M&S) solutions based on both companies' commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software. On November 8th, representatives of the two parties signed a Marketing Agreement at NADS Headquarters to conclude the deal. The agreement includes collaboration for marketing of COTS-based solutions for Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) interoperability. These solutions will be based on Presagis product lines and SIMWARE, the flagship product from NADS. Know about the agreement between NADS and PRESAGIS and how this companies complement in tools and technologies.

16. REASONS FOR OUR TEAMING

17. • Our Vision: Future of M&S systems is on the network
Evolution of the S&T industry
Simulation in
the Cloud
(Simulation
as a Service)

18. Distributed Simulation is the most efficient way to improve operational readiness of
our military and security forces.

19. • Our Vision: Future of M&S systems is on the network
But Reality is Complex:
* Different Standards for interoperability
* Too many COTS hard to interoperate between them
* Different Data & Voice Communications
* Legacy vs. COTS based Systems
* Heterogeneus simulation ecosystems
* Scaling-Up to Very Large Exercises

20. Defense Administrations have invested a lot in
simulation systems for weapon systems but:
* Poor use of existing simulation assets
* Distributed Mission Training is very difficult
* Interoperability is very limited
* Tied hands with HLA COTS vendors

21. To solve these problems, NADS & Presagis are
teaming to offer the first truly open simulation
framework based on Open Standards
We are pursuing a COTS based
agile development of
simulation systems to any level
of deployment
Based on standards
HLA, DIS, DDS, CIGI, CDB

24. A same platform for developing LVC simulations to any level of
deployment
COMBINING OUR PORTFOLIOS TO
IMPROVE USER EXPERIENCE

25. We are offering the first complete product commercially available for LVC simulations

26. What´s so good in the mix
Advantages we provide with our combined offering
 Interoperability: HLA and DDS without gateways: e.g. ownership
transfer
 DDSI open protocol: Presagis is now open to DDS
 Is all about standards
 Use of simulation as a service
 Full data-centric development
 Reusability of legacy systems

Conceive and deploy a complete Conceive and deploy a complete
aerodynamic model for the real-time aerodynamic model for the real-time
simulation of any fixed wing aircraft simulation of any rotary wing aircraft
without writing a single line of code without writing a single line of code
Based on Matlab/Simulink
 Build your simulation

 Test your simulation logic
 Reuse your simulation

31. Another approach for improving interoperability…
MULATION
• Presagis Vega Prime has a powerful API: VPSim
• SimWare NcWare Sim can be easily integrated to let
VP connect with DDS or HLA
• We are creating a direct connection between Vega
Prime and SimWare without data bridges

35. Virtual Vehicle Framework
• Consider the
simulation components
as services added
together
• Lego concept
• Reusability
• Build your simulation
just by adding pieces

36. VVF : Towards a composable Virtual simulator
 Plug & play architecture for a real-time simulator.
 Pure data-oriented design: From the data model to the simulation
models
 Architecture purely distributed without bottlenecks.
 Interoperability with networked simulators using HLA, DIS or DDS.
 Interoperability at the component level (e.g. simulation of weapons
as an external service)
Data space

37. Summary

38. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
