The Tactical Command Information System (ATCIS) is the Command and Control, Communication, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) system, It is a system that organically integrates communication, information and computer to ensure information sharing between upper and lower abdomen and adjacent units. In the event of a war, weapons and combat troops are integrated into a single information network, allowing combat personnel on the spot to move and share all information, including key battlefield status, via real-time radio communications, effectively performing missions.

In order to ensure mutual interoperability between intellectual property systems, it is important to use standardized information, and Korean army uses Korean Message Text Format (KMTF), which is an interlocking message for inter-organizational year.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for interworking data between HLA / RTI-based ground war game models, in which a game player manually transfers army tactical command information information from a ROK military command control system to a global union information exchange system, And a system for automatic transmission through a message format conversion and communication / transmission module to a global union information exchange system through ROK military joint command control system.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for collecting / storing interlocked data using an external connector of a Korean military war game interlock system, mapping the collected interlocked data to a unit identification code, A message format conversion step for transmitting the collected interworking data, a message transmission step for transmitting the message from the simulation area to the C4I system area, a message transmission control step for transmitting the message from the simulation area to the C4I system area, and a C4I System Area Korean Wargame Interworking System Includes the step of sending message by SMTP method from external connector to joint command control system.

According to the present invention, the conditions for activating the C4I system of the ROKAF Commander-in-Charge Practice among the allied exercises are guaranteed, so that the accuracy and reliability of the information for the commander's command resolution are enhanced. In addition, the current training environment can be made similar to the actual battlefield environment, and it will be equipped with ROK military-supported future joint training simulation support capability.
