Description / Abstract:
This standard is part of a set of standards and recommended
practices for DIS applications. Each standard and recommended
practice in the set describes one or more of the elements that
constitute the DIS environment. As a whole, the set of standards
and recommended practices will define an interoperable simulated
engagement environment. This particular standard addresses the
application protocols.
This standard defines the data messages, known as PDUs, that are
exchanged on a network between simulation applications. The
messages are organized within specified domains called protocol
families. The protocol families included in this standard include
Entity Information/Interaction, Warfare, Logistics, Simulation
Management, Distributed Emission Regeneration, Radio
Communications, Entity Management, Minefield, Synthetic
Environment, Simulation Management with Reliability, Live Entity
Information/Interaction, and Non-Real Time.
