Description
Summary:The paper examines the changes in computer and communications capabilities over the next 10-15 years which are most likely to affect the central components of distributed interactive simulation (DIS): manned simulators, synthetic environments, and semi-automated forces (SAF). Because these components of DIS are currently very resource intensive, improvements in computer and communications capabilities translate into direct and immediate improvements in DIS capabilities. These improved capabilities in turn allow DIS to contribute in much broader arenas, enhancing troop readiness and reducing system acquisition costs. These improvements will not all come automatically, however. Substantial planning is required to ensure that DIS can take advantage of the coming changes, rather than being overcome by them.< >
