SimWare, an enabler of an Open LSA (Layered Simulation Architecture)

Simware provides the first truly open architecture for Distributed simulation
Allows the development of simulation systems in accordance to the SISO LSA vision.
First Simulation commercial platform fully compliant with OMG DDS standard.

Why the market needs SimWare

• Heterogeneous ecosystem of interoperability standards: different
versions of DIS, different versions of HLA, TENA, and different
vendors implementations.

• Customer spend the money developing so many custom data bridges and
gateways.

• Data Bridges and Gateways are commonly difficult to develop, upgrade
and maintain.

• No convergence of simulation architectures. No common datamodels, no
common protocols, no common data distribution mechanisms.

• Restrictions in performance. Difficult to cope with very large, WAN-
level exercises or experiments.

• No plug&play capability.

• Not seamless interoperability with Operational systems
