Leveraging DDS for Real-Time Simulation Environments

Integrating global simulation and training systems is more complex than ever. Legacy simulators rely on varied and often incompatible standards for data, voice and video, while modern systems demand cloud-based, distributed architectures and robust security. When you factor in the rising burden of information assurance, simulation system integrators face an uphill battle. The key to success lies in building modular, composable synthetic environments that can be rapidly assembled and reconfigured using interoperable components. But how can integrators meet evolving mission needs without getting bogged down in lengthy, fragile integration efforts? In this webinar, we’ll explore how Data Distribution Service (DDS) can streamline the integration of simulation systems while meeting the performance, security, and scalability demands of next-generation training environments. DDS is already at the heart of many real-world defense systems, powering secure, low-latency data sharing across Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) simulations. It bridges legacy systems and next-gen architectures, connecting humans and hardware-in-the-loop with virtual and augmented environments—across labs, ranges, and cloud infrastructures. Attendees will learn how DDS enables seamless interoperability with simulation standards like HLA, TENA, and DIS, integrates with diverse object models and data formats, and supports fine-tuned quality-of-service (QoS) settings to optimize performance. The webinar will also discuss how DDS delivers secure, scalable communication—ensuring trusted information flow across domains and classification boundaries. Join us to learn how DDS can serve as the foundation for distributed simulation systems that are faster to integrate, easier to scale, and ready for the future of training, testing, and development.
