MÄK Gateway
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. Through the Gateway your DIS simulation can immediately interoperate in an HLA world (1.3 or IEEE 1516) ― without modification. The Gateway is a separate application placed on the network that joins both a DIS exercise and an HLA federation execution. It serves as a translator between the two protocols, generating RTI service calls in response to incoming DIS PDUs, and sending appropriate DIS PDUs as a result of incoming RTI calls, all in real-time. (There is just 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.
FOM Agility
Built with VR-Link®, MÄK’s simulation networking toolkit, the Gateway takes advantage of VR-Link’s FOM-Agile infrastructure. The Gateway comes with a FOM Mapper for the RPR FOM, for out-of-the-box interoperability. VR-Link provides tools and examples to help you develop new FOM Mappers for other FOMs.* Once a FOM Mapper for a particular FOM has been created, all MÄK tools can use it to interoperate.
* Requires a VR-Link Developers License.
