DIS to HLA Translation * FOM-Agile * GUI control of Gateway activity * Built-in RPR FOM support * LAN and WAN operation * HLA 1.3 and IEEE 1516 The Translation Manager lets you specify objects and interactions to be translated The MÄK Gateway is the easiest way for legacy DIS simulations to participate in an HLA exercise. The Gateway is a separate application placed on the network that joins both a DIS exercise and an HLA federation execution. Through the Gateway, your DIS simulation can immediately interoperate in an HLA world (1.3 or IEEE 1516) without modification. Acting as a translator between the two protocols, the Gateway generates RTI service calls in response to incoming DIS PDUs, and sends appropriate DIS PDUs as a result of incoming RTI calls. These actions all happen in real time with only a small latency associated with the extra network hop. The Gateway supports all PDUs in the IEEE 1278.1 DIS Standard, and nearly all of IEEE 1278.1a as well.
