8.The High Level Architecture (HLA) for distributed simulations was proposed by the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office of the Department of Defense (DOD) in order to support interoperability among simulations as well as reuse of simulation models. This paper analyzed requirement and significance of constructing the synthetic environment of underwater warfare dynamic simulation,presented a scheme that utlizing modeling and developing software platform of HLA:LabWorks and pRTI,to develop and open and extensible underwater warfare Federation.
9.In 1988, Congress directed the Department of Defense (DOD) to establish a Joint Program Office for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and develop a master plan for military UAVs.
