Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for routing data traffic along a specific route. The method is implemented by a data traffic router configured within a networked environment to appear as a standard network router that caused data to be transmitted through a prescribed data path. The disclosed systems and methods may include routing the data from the source to a first router by manipulating a frame header, and routing the data from the first router to a second router by manipulating the frame header. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods associate a first packet header with a second packet header, which contains an address associated with the destination. The system and method route the data from the second router to the third router using the first packet header, wherein the first packet header contains an address associated with hardware within the prescribed datapath. Finally, the systems and methods route the data to the destination using the second packet header.

Abstract: An automated system for translating datalink information and producing a computer code based on the translated datalink information. The computer code may subsequently be used to establish datalink communications between pieces of equipment having different communication protocols. The automated production of computer code reduces time and errors during software development for applications used in communicating between different datalinks.

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.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for publishing and subscribing information between entities on heterogenous networks. In a preferred embodiment an agent is provided that includes an interface for an entity that resides on the LAN and an interface to a WAN with a publisher/subscriber architecture. The WAN interface includes publisher and subscriber services for the entity on the LAN. Additionally, the agent may include a translator to translate between the protocols used by the platforms and systems on the LAN and WAN. Moreover, the translator may use XML to accomplish translations. Furthermore, the LAN protocol may be TDM and the WAN protocol may be an Internet protocol.
