Abstract: Systems and methods for interfacing an artillery unit control panel emulator with a collective training environment are disclosed. One method includes reading output data including one or more output data segments generated by the artillery unit control panel emulator. The method includes examining the output data to identify a trigger event in the one or more output data segments. The method includes extracting details regarding the trigger event from the one or more output data segments. The method includes creating a message indicative of the trigger event and including the details regarding the trigger event. The method includes sending, via a communication interface, the message to a device within the collective training environment.

Abstract: A voice-controlled training unit for conducting fire training and/or operation of an artillery unit may include a communication interface, a memory, and a processing unit communicatively coupled with the communication interface and the memory. The processing unit may be configured to cause the voice-controlled training unit to detect spoken speech, and to determine that the spoken speech includes a command that is related to operation of the artillery unit. The processing unit may be further configured to cause the voice-controlled training unit to generate a message indicative of the command, in accordance with a protocol of a distributed computer simulation standard, and send, via the communication interface, the message indicative of the command to a remote simulation system.

Abstract: A facility monitoring system, an article of manufacture, and a method for obtaining data stored in a non-volatile memory and data stored in volatile memory are provided. The method includes retrieving a first data set stored in the non-volatile memory associated with a first computer wherein the first data set includes data collected from at least one sensor over a first predetermined time interval. The method further includes retrieving a second data set stored in the volatile memory associated with a second computer wherein the second data set comprises data collected from the at least one sensor over a second time interval after the first time interval. Finally, the method includes storing at least a portion of the first data set and the second data set in a first memory.
