  2. Presentation: • Overview of NAVCIITI Task 2.1a&b: Command and • Control Visualization: a collaboration between NUWC, • NRL, and Virginia Tech to develop of an ASW tactical • interface for littoral battle space: CONRAY/MIX. • Demo CONRAY/MIX • The DIVERSE API used to develop CONRAY/MIX • with features for future network centric warfare • system development • Demo DIVERSE embedded in CONRAY/MIX

  3. Key Project Personnel • ONR, Paul Quinn: NAVCIITI Primary Project Contact • VT, Ken Reifsnider: NAVCIITI Principal Investigator • NRL, Larry Rosenblum: Task 2.1 POC • Doug Maxwell, CONRAY/MIX developer • NUWC, Ken Lima (code22) Task 2.1 Program Manager • Rich Shell and Lauren Mathews, CONRAY/MIX developers • VT, Ron Kriz: CoPI Task 2.1a • F. Das Neves, integrate scenegraph into CONRAY/MIX dGL • VT, Lance Arsenault: CoPI Task 2.1b & DTK Development • VT, John Kelso & Chris Logie: Task 2.1b dGL Development • VT, Alex Kalita & Eric Tester, Develop GUI manager for DTK

  4. Task 2.1a: (year 3, $156K) Development of CONRAY/MIX C&C acoustic model scenegraph based on API developed in Task 2.1b Task 2.1b: (year 3, $275K) Create OpenGL API for IRIX, Linux, HP-UX, Windows Investigate how to incorporate OpenGL scene-graphs Integrate networked device tools Create navigation tools in collaboration with D. Hix Expand on network extensions for DTK with data abstractions and security Create GUI manager for DTK NAVCIITI Task 2.1

  10. DIVERSE sponsored by Office of Naval Research DURIP Kam Ng NAVCIITI Paul Quinn Lockheed Martin Pat McKenzie

  11. Runs on: • GNU/Linux SGI IRIX What is DIVERSE? • DIVERSE is: • free(GNULGPLandGPL) software • Consisting of: • C++ Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) • Utility and Example programs

  12. Crane Ship Simulator with CAVE and motion base What is DIVERSE? DIVERSE is for creating Applications like:

  13. DIVERSE Toolkit: Networked Asynchronous Simulation • Remote shared memory • Library: C++ Classes to Build Server and Applications • Networked Server: Manage Dynamic Shared Objects (DSOs) • DSO I/O Services: Loaded/Unloaded on the Fly DIVERSE Graphics Interface for Performer • Uses DTK and Performer to provide: • Configuration via DSOs • Display-Independent Graphics • Coordinate Systems and Scene Graph • Viewing Frusta • Stereo Graphics • Input from Real and Emulated Devices • Many Navigation Methods

  14. Reconfigurable Local host wombat dynamics Stop memory “wombat” graphics graphics wombat dynamics memory “wombat” Simulate wombat dynamics File play back Remote wombat host Remote Display DTK Remote Shared Memoryis Simulator Glue

  15. CONCLUSION The remote shared memory architecture of the DIVERSE API can be used to develop other network centric command and control tactical interfaces.
