Interactive HPC-Enabled LVC S&T Experimentation Environments

As the Army's operational paradigm shifts toward Network-Centric Warfare (NCW), the use of high performance computing assets to aid experimentation in Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) environments has become increasingly valuable. Live test and evaluation of large complex Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Systems-of-Systems (SoS) is becoming impracticable due to cost and component availability. The use of an HPC-enabled LVC science and technology (S&T) environment to aid in stimulating, scaling, and analyzing these technologies is a solution that C4ISR On-The-Move (OTM) leveraged heavily during experiments conducted for Event 2009.
