Simulation Exploration Experience: Providing Effective Surveillance and Defense for a Moon Base Against Threats from Outer Space

In this paper the authors are presenting their work prepared for the Simulation Exploration Experience (SEE) 2014 event. This initiative has been organized by the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) and other leading companies involved in Modeling and Simulation field, and under NASA coordination. SEE, whose previous name was Smackdown, is a project for Federating Interoperable Simulations of Moon Base Operations by using the latest Technologies (i.e. HLA Evolved). The project shown in the following pages is called IPHITOS and simulates a defensive system provided with long range radars and light interceptors to detect, recognize and defeat incoming threats from outer space.
