Paper Title: Visualization Scheme for Naval Combat System Network Simulator
Conference Name: International Conference on M3 IT Convergence (ICMIC 2024)
Abstract: The initial naval combat system was designed to meet requirements such as navy performance, safety, survivability, and scalability. However, the next generation naval combat system requires design considerations beyond these requirements, including increased system efficiency, reduced system weight, improved operability, and enhanced security, among others. Therefore, it is difficult to meet these additional requirements with the initial design alone. Furthermore, sensor nodes in the distributed control network exchange large amounts of data in real-time, placing a burden on CPU processing capabilities and causing performance degradation and other issues. To address this, research on network performance analysis and optimization schemes is needed. While there are various network simulation tools available, NS-3, which offers advantages in data collection, visualization, and analysis of simulation results, is suitable for validating naval network designs. However, NS-3 has complex initial setup requirements and lacks visualization tools. Therefore, in this paper, we design a naval combat system scheme based on 3D network simulation. Through a 3D virtual environment, we can design a network model similar-to the real environment and provide a 3D-based GUI for effectively validating simulation results.
