The future DoD transport vision is for the Global Information Grid (GIG) to provide an internet-like capability that meets the mobility, security, and reliability needs of a wide spectrum of DoD users. A variety of services must be provided to the users including management of resources to support QoS, a transition path from IPv4 to IPv6, and efficient networking across heterogeneous networks (i.e., wired/wireless, fixed/mobile, GND/Air/Space, etc.). Due to the complexity of the issues involved with the integrated GIG, it is only possible to quantify end-to-end GIG performance via modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques using component models having adequate fidelity. The purpose of this paper is to describe the End-to-End M&S Testbed (EMAST) that has been developed to address these issues.
