EGV SAL:
The goals of this R & D Study \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Erweiterter Grid Verbund - Sensor Aufklärung Lage (EGV-SAL)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" - \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Extended Grid Network - sensor reconnaissance picture\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" was the design of a system model EGV-SAL in an experimental prototyping. On the other hand was the demonstration of increased efficiency and capability of this information network in the context of network centric warfare on the basis of proofs and a military evacuation scenario with usage of information grid with integrated PK-Infrastructure BwW, the R&D project AiIT, PvCBw INSC and ISVA, ISVA2GRID & GRID2ISVA as well as Real Time Sensor Information System also the aim of this study.
Responsible for conceptioning and network integration over UDP-Interface of the IDCP (Identification Data Combining Process) Software with the sensor field from the university Aachen and the Blue Force Tracking Units (Fuchs Tanks). This was realised with a Trackserver (in Java implemented), which as a central Unit does data reception, data distribution and forwarding, depends on configured network participants. As the persistent data manage was used MySQL-DBMS.

Development of The Distributed Integrated Test Enviroment “VIntEL” – New Terrain Data Base:
Establishing the capability of the armed forces to conduct network enabled operations requires new tools to more effectively support the identification and satisfaction of the needs of the forces. The Distributed Integrated Test Environment (German acronym: VIntEL) is a future network enabled capability (NEC) testbed for comprehensive testing and evaluation of defence demonstrators and technical innovations. It is intended to be used for realistic testing and optimization during all development phases.
In this project was used a 2D terrain data base from existing Simulating System PABST and synchronized with 3D terrain in VIntEL. The road map and other GIS-information’s were updated.
