Welcome

  The Extended Air Defense TestBed (EADTB) is a robust analytic simulation originally designed for examining air missile defense issues in a family of systems. However its inherent capabilities has enabled application across a wide variety of domains. The EADTB supports modeling of systems across the full military spectrum from land and sea based, through space based.  An object-based simulation architecture supports this breadth of applicability by allowing the user to develop system models called specific system representations (SSR's). The user can then place numbers of these SSR's on a host gameboard that contains the terrain and weather models without a requirement for rewrite of other existing system models or modification of the supporting architecture. 

By placing model-development power in the hands of users, the EADTB has stimulated the ongoing development of a range of system models by system proponent agencies across all services. These agencies continue to certify their EADTB models for a documented range of uses and contribute them to an SSR library, which is accessible to other EADTB users. The EADTB will thus become the first simulation to offer access to a library of system models contributed and certified by a diverse group of joint-service and, potentially, international sources.
