分布式模拟的进展可使地球上隔得很远的飞行员、坦克驾驶员和防空导弹操作员在一个模拟的战场上联合进行战斗演习。分布式模拟通过高速数据网将模拟器连接起来创造的“虚环境”,能使相隔数千里之遥的各种武器进行高度交互作用的动作。最终,在内华达州试验场上空飞行的实际F/A-18飞机能对得克萨斯州的一台陆军模拟器描述的红方坦克“投”一枚炸弹,而同时又能避开位于新墨西哥州的“隼”地空导弹防空部队的模拟的地空导弹的“射击”。 The progress of distributed simulation allows joint pilots, tank pilots and air defense missile operators on Earth to conduct joint combat exercises on a simulated battlefield. Distributed Simulation The “virtual environment” created by connecting simulators via a high-speed data network enables highly interactive actions of various weapons thousands of miles away. Eventually, the actual F / A-18 flying over the Nevada test site was able to “cast” a bomb on the Red Square tank described by an Army simulator in Texas while at the same time avoiding the “ Falcon ”surface to air missile air defense forces simulated ground-to-air missile“ fire. ”
