  1. Standardization Study Group Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization fall 2003 Bill Phelps Lance Durham willard.b.phelps@boeing.comlance.w.durham@boeing.com The Boeing Company - Training Systems and Services

  2. Order of Presentation • A review of CIGI • A look at the: • The Hardware Interface • The Interface Control Document (ICD) • The Software Development Kit (SDK) • Including an Application Programmers Interface (API) • The Host Emulator • What to do with Open Source software

  3. Host Simulation IG Run-Time CIGI SDK CIGI SDK CIGI API CIGI API CIGI CIGI CIGI Messages Data & Synchronization A Review of CIGI • What is CIGI ? • Data packet definitions for a host-to-image generator real time interface. • Provides a high level of abstraction, using primitive building blocks to construct complex simulations. • The goal is to produce a universal plug-and-play type interface to reduce integration costs.

  4. A Review of CIGI (continued) • History of CIGI • Initial discussions started in mid 2000 • Official release of CIGI 1.0 March 2001 • Posted on Boeing and Sourceforge web sites • Incorporated and tested with CG2 Mantis run-time • Many inquiries received from across the industry • Official release of CIGI 2.0 March 2002 • CIGI stated as requirement in three Navy RFPs and Naval Aviation Simulation Master Plan (NASMP) • CIGI beginning to be incorporated in other IG run-times • Presented at IMAGE conference summer 2002 • Presented at I/ITSEC fall 2002 • Presented at SISO 2003 spring conference • Presented at PC based simulation working group summer 2003 • Presented at IMAGE conference summer 2003 • CIGI 3.0 in work

  5. Hardware Interface • CIGI itself is only the interface packet definitions that provide real time communication between two subsystems. • Therefore CIGI is not associated with any particular hardware interface.

  6. Interface Control Document (ICD) • CIGI theory of operation. • Startup sequence • Data packaging • Message synchronizationand frequency • Coordinate system definitions • Display definitions • Complete definitionof all data packets

  7. Interface Control Document (ICD) • Weather • Surface conditions • Motion trackers • Sensors • Position and state queries • Mission functions

  8. Software Development Kit (SDK) • ANSI C API core • Addition of an object oriented class library in C++ for CIGI 3.0 • Documentation • Example code

  9. Host Emulator (HE) • Fully supports all CIGI data packets • Provides test scripting for fast, easy regression testing • Record & playback functions • Timing analysis functions

  10. CIGI Availability • All data and documentation are available on http://cigi.sourceforge.net/ • includes ICD, API, SDK, CIGI Host Emulator • on-line forum for help, bug tracking, and distribution list

  11. What to do with Open Source software • Boeing will continue to support CIGI and post updates to the SDK and HE development tools. • Boeing desires to move the CIGI ICD to a standards organization or form a consortium with a review board. SISO is the perfect home for CIGI!
