Using TENA and JMETC to Enable Integrated Testing and Training

Abstract

The Test and Training Enabling Architecture enables interoperability among ranges, facilities, and simulations in a timely and cost-efficient manner and fosters reuse of range assets and future software systems. TENA is a common architecture, providing for real-time software system interoperability using the TENA Middleware, as well as interfacing to existing range assets, C4ISR systems, and simulations. The Middleware, currently at Release 6.0.1, has been used by the range community for testing, evaluation, and feedback in many major exercises since 2002, and has been selected for use in the Joint Mission Environment Test Capability prototyping demonstrations and distributed testing.
