Vision & Goals

A validated, reusable and interoperable mission simulation environment that supports distributed mission preparation at various levels of security classification:

Joint, Combined, Interagency

The MTDS Technical Reference Architecture provides a blueprint for the design of specific MTDS simulation environments for air, land and maritime and joint operations. Focus is on the technical agreements & requirements for a synthetic collective training environment for MTDS including:

  • Networks
  • Cross-Domain Security
  • Common Simulation Services
  • Simulation Environment Agreements

Existing NATO standards and services for distributed systems are the basis for all MTDS solutions including:

  • CFBL-net Networking Services
  • Federated Mission Networking (FMN) Standards and Services
  • NATO Education and Training Network standards for Distributed Federated Simulation (STANAG 4603 and STANREC 4800 NETN)
  • C2-Simulation Interoperability Standards
  • NATO MSaaS provided common services and components
  • Services for adaptation of national systems using legacy or non-NATO standards for interoperability.
