  • Patent number: 8166150
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for enabling interoperability of different Network-Centric Operation (NCO) environments. A first computer executable module may enable plug-able import proxies and export proxies for respectively importing data from and exporting data to different NCO environments. A second computer executable module may enable plug-able software operable for configuring imported data. An infrastructure may be incorporated that integrates the first and second computer executable modules.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7831698
    Abstract: Systems and methods enabling interoperability between different NCO environments generally include receiving data from a first NCO environment by either using a preexisting import proxy, or by creating a subscriber and then using that subscriber as an import proxy when a preexisting import proxy is unavailable. The imported data can be configured if it is not in accordance with instructions received from a subscriber of a second NCO environment. The configured data can then be published to the second NCO environment by either using a preexisting export proxy, or by creating a publisher and then using that publisher as an export proxy when a preexisting export proxy is unavailable.

  • Patent number: 7228258
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a training system comprising at least one real asset having real asset data, a transceiver coupled to the real asset, at least one simulator adapted to simulate an asset; and a bridge coupled between the at least one simulator and the transceiver, whereby training can be carried out using both the at least one real asset and the simulated asset in concert. The bridge uses a piecewise polynomial interpolation algorithm to transform the real asset data into the proper format for use in the simulated environment. The present disclosure is also directed to the real asset-to-simulated environment bridge itself and a method of providing a bridge between at least one real asset and a simulated environment.

  • Patent number: 6907434
    Abstract: A digital message analysis tool for incorporating a digital message standard into a relational database. The tool includes a message standard automation module (MSAM), a message implementation module (MIM) in communication with the MSAM, and, a platform interoperability module (PIM), in communication with the MSAM. The MSAM includes a digital message standard. The MSAM automates the digital message standard into a relational database and provides a first graphic user interface (GUI) that allows a user to view the desired contents of the digital message standard and requirement interdependencies associated within the digital message standard. The MIM includes a second GUI. The MIM develops and provides a message implementation in accordance with the digital message standard. It utilizes the message implementation for providing a message implementation report. The PIM includes a third GUI.
