Operational Uses of Distributed Simulation Using BML

Since its inception in military systems two decades ago, distribution simulation has grown to provide a rich and varied family of technologies. During the same period, military requirements for distributed simulation have continued to evolve. The nature of warfighting today has shifted from focus on large, kinetic engagements to asymmetric warfare and stability/peacekeeping operations. As a complement to the three technical papers in this session, this talk will describe the presenter´s experience in supporting military operations, using the distributed technologies associated with Battle Management Language.
