BMD-Flex Gateway
Enabling Distributed Simulation
The BMD-Flex SIM Gateway enables the BMD-Flex simulator environment to actively participate with other simulators in distributed simulation exercises.
Application Areas
The SIM Gateway is used to link BMD-Flex into integrated test beds, training environments and distributed simulation exercises.
- Joint multi-role scenarios including Land, Air and Naval simulators.
- Integrated training environments including CMS, C2, sensor and weapons simulators, and scenario generators.
- Distributed simulation between warfare training centers, training ranges and test sites.
- LVC: Live, Virtual & Constructive training environments.

Architecture
The SIM Gateway is designed to integrate simulation assets. The gateway translates run-time simulation scenario data and simulation control data between the BMD-Flex simulation environment and an external simulation network. The SIM Gateway is installed within a BMD-Flex site and serves multiple BMD-Flex sites simultaneously.
Industrial Standards
The BMD-Flex SIM Gateway uses the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) and High Level Architecture (HLA) standards for run-time scenario data exchange.
