What We Seek

  • An interoperable test range backbone for Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training systems, enabling real-time data exchange and event synchronization across various simulation systems that currently use different communication protocols (e.g., DIS, HLA, TENA, GRID).
  • Innovative technologies and approaches.
  • Individual technologies or integrated team solutions capable of addressing one or more aspects of the challenge.
  • Concepts with the potential to scale across various simulation systems that currently use different communication protocols.

Who Should Compete

  • Startups and emerging technology companies
  • Universities and research institutions
  • Defense contractors and system integrators
  • Government laboratories and non-traditional defense innovators
  • Multi-organization teams with complementary capabilities
