Networking SIMS with the VON will provide the desired interoperability realism in a network centric environment. Computer network interoperability hardware, and network system interoperability are projects that address the linkages of the network and its IPs. Through SIMS, network interoperability, wireless and mobile communication, basic and realistic modeling of the network traffic and security can be optimized and evaluated. Profiling and Quality of service management metrics will be used to evaluate some of the effectiveness parameters of the network. These simulations will build on the ship performance models that reside in the databases.
Displays are very important in the sensors and communication hardware.
Fiber optics LAN provides a huge bandwidth for optimal distribution of data and imaging information. The program provides excellent opportunities to the university researchers to expand their activities and provide research with value-added to the Navy, DOD, and other government agencies. Research dealing with information, visualization, modeling and simulation, sensors, communication, control, embedded software, networking, and human factors are areas of high interest.
