OVERVIEW
The ATC-Gen web service provides rapid, repeatable, "Pass-Fail" Link-16 conformance testing of Command and Control (C2) and other systems, using a library of validated test cases. ATC-Gen applies modeling and simulation methodology to evaluate complex scripted behavior in near real time, using a set of tester selectable test cases. Test cases are derived from Military Standard (MIL STD) 6016 or North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 5516. ATC-Gen utilizes a test harness to stimulate the system under test sensors over an IP network using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) or Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) sensor simulation data (truth data) and interacts with other Link-16 Units using Link 16 messages over the Standard Interface for Multiple Platform Link Evaluation (SIMPLE J) protocol. ATC-Gen also provides the user with the capability to select effective sample sizes for a test through the zero-failure testing formula given a requirement to demonstrate a degree of reliability at a confidence level of choice within a scientific based methodology.
