Abstract :
This paper summarizes a two year project, called JLINK, which enables the Janus, Army constructive interactive simulation to be connected to manned land and air combat vehicle simulators, using distributed interactive simulation (DIS) protocol data units (PDU). The JLINK project was one of the first to demonstrate that a constructive simulation can be connected to and realistically interact with DIS compliant virtual combat vehicle and aircraft simulators. This paper discusses how this was accomplished, highlights the major considerations involved, and describes the interface model that was developed to connect Janus to the DIS world. The paper concludes with a discussion of the Janus Fast Movers Project which connected Janus to an Air Force F-16C manned virtual aircraft simulator
