Link 16/DIS J Test Plan

• Use New DIS J Standard on a limited scale
• TADIL TALES, SISO-STD-002-V2.6 DRAFT, 1
  December 2003
• Available on SISO website www.sisostds.org
• DMOC Northrop/Grumman CCD already implements DIS
  J
• Would experiment with DIS J at DMOC, and other
  sites if they have CCDs or native implementation
• Will test and validate new standard, and confirm
  standard is technically sound, or provide feed
  back for changes to the standard

Link 16/DIS J Test Equipment

• DMOC Test Equipment
• CCD, Version 03.00.00, build 1
• Redsim, Version 1.5 (Data Recorder)
• MCE OM, Version 110.5
• SRI Version 1.0
• AWACS Simulator, Version 13A
• DISNAT, Version 1.2 (Data Recorder)
• ADSI, 11.106.2
• Other participating Sites will use CCD, Same
  Software Version

Link 16/DIS J Test Procedure

• Test Procedure
• All Simulators on DIS AIR LAN will use TACCSF J
  Signal PDU. Other TADIL J formats (Serial,
  Socket) will be sent to CCD on Air LAN
• All Simulators on DMOC Ground LAN will use DIS J
  Signal PDU
• Fidelity Level 1 will only be used
• DMOC OM/SRI will run at Fidelity Level 3 to test
  Fidelity Interoperability
• All DIS J Signal PDUs will be recorded for
  analysis at a later time
• If experiment does not work
• Can reconfigure network in minimal amount of
  time.

Link 16/DIS J Test Results

• Test Results
• Northrop/Grumman Support at DMOC was not
  possible, due to conflicting schedules
• No External Sites participated in Experiment due
  to JEFX 04 Network issues
• Conducted DMOC Only Experiment
• AWACS Simulator on DIS AIR LAN used TACCSF J
  Signal PDU to send Link 16 Data to CCD.
• CCD on Air LAN sent DIS J to CCD on Ground LAN
  at Fidelity Level 1

8
Link 16/DIS J Test Results

• DMOC OM/SRI was run at Fidelity Level 3, Sent
  Link 16 Data to CCD on Air LAN at Fidelity level
  3
• All DIS J Signal PDUs were recorded on the DMOC
  DISNAT Logger for analysis
• Experiment was Partial Success
• Achieved NTR with AWACS at Fidelity Level 1
• Transmitter and Signal PDUs analyzed showed some
  incorrect data in required fields

9
Link 16/DIS J Test Results

• It could not be determined at the time if the
  DISNAT Logger had incorrect DIS J Signal and
  Transmitter PDU Template, or if the CCD was
  sending incorrect data
• Record files will be analyzed further by
  Northrop/Grumman Software Engineers
• Additional Tests
• JEFX 04 MS Operational Test
• 10 15 May 2004
• JEFX 04 MS Operational Test
• 12 18 July 2004
