Military Simulation and Training (MS&T) Master Plan of Defense Technology Institution (DTI) was intended to build the next generation training simulators. The systems must be integrated and inter-operated under disparate distributed virtual environments. Dealing with single or multi-architecture for simulation environment, it is essential that the best practice system engineering must be employed. Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) is a suitable standard for this purpose because it is formulated as a system development life cycle (SDLC) for MS&T. Thus, it is the objective in this paper to investigate how DSEEP can help the developers in building this type of simulators. Command Post Exercise (CPX) requirements are adopted as a problem domain, and the analysis and design of the system will follow DSEEP steps. The work results were analyzed and explained.

The paper proposes a technique for sensing of moisture content of a waste paper block based on Wheeler Cap measurement method. The technique allows sufficient penetration into the sample due to relatively low frequencies in the VHF band. Water blocks within the sample can be detected due to the increased loss compared to a dry sample. The simulation setup comprises a cylindrical Wheeler Cap structure and an electrically small antenna which is located in the same enclosure as the Material Under Test (MUT). The moisture content can be detected due to frequency shift and amplitude change of the reflected signal. The study demonstrates that varying moisture content from 5% to 50% results in the change of the frequency from 276.35 MHz to 264.35 MHz, and simultaneous change in the level of reflected signal from -4.51 to -6.64 dB. Other factors, such as misplacement of the sample, are also discussed.
