This research agreement will be supporting research in the areas of combat system margins recovery and integration, as well as the research and development of a combat system modelling and analysis capability, continuing our existing collaborative research relationship with DSTO within the space of Systems Execution Modelling within distributed application contexts.

The areas of research for this Research Agreement will be:

• Research and development of prototypes of new SEM capabilities that will allow for deployment onto new hardware platforms, such as GPU, FPGA and many-core CPU
• Research and development of prototypes of new SEM modelling and runtime to allow for synthetic environment integration and enable testing of real and emulated systems within a single test
• Research, development and integration into new baseline of new SEM modelling and runtime capabilities that will allow for deployment within multi-network and multi-VLAN computing environments
• Research and development of prototypes of new SEM capabilities that allows for large scale model deployment with abstract high level modelling techniques.
