VULCAIN 2013 Stimulate C 2 with a multi-level simulation using interoperability standard

VULCAIN 2013 : history The first presentation was during the EUROSATORY The bi-annual army exhibition in Paris, during June 2012 The VULCAIN demonstration is an initiative from the French M&S community. Vulcain is sponsored by the ADIS (Armées, DGA, Industries Simulation) group, it allow to show the real benefits of employing M&S standards toward conducting a relevant and efficient joint training.
