Modeling methods in OPNET simulations of Tactical Command and Control Information Systems

Slovenia is a member of MIP (Multilateral Interoperability Programme), the task of which is to provide interpretations of national C2IS systems for successfully harmonizing joint action by international military peacekeeping forces. Interpretability within MIP is carried-out by a unified model based on controlled data replication between the databases of C2IS systems. Systematics IRIS Replication Mechanism software (IRM) is used for data replication. This paper presents methods of measuring and analyzing traffic that causes IRM. We designed an OPNET model on the basis of the analyzed results that would be suitable for the purposes of tactical radio network simulation.
