Description
Primary Latest Change

EXata/QualNet is a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) tool that emulates high-fidelity Tactical and Enterprise Networks of the US Army that are either a Program of Record (POR) or emerging in the Army's capability development portfolio. This M&S tool was also designed to federate with other models such as the Army's POR Force on Force model One Semi-Automated Force (OneSAF). EXata/QaulNet also uses an open DIA/HLA architecture allowing it to incorporate real time hardware in the loop. This software platform is also capable of integrating and representing Cyber and Electromagnetic Warfare effects natively.
