Pitch is a major provider of products, services and training for cost-effective state-of-the-art interoperability technologies. In addition to this, Pitch is a major innovator and contributor to international Research and Development communities. This includes publication of several award-winning papers as well as tutorial presentations around the world.

Interoperability Technologies

Pitch is committed to providing the best interoperability solutions based on the following concepts and technologies:

• SOA – The Service Oriented Architecture

• GIG – The Global Information Grid

• Web Services

• HLA – The High Level Architecture for simulation interoperability, based on the open international IEEE 1516-2000 standard

• HLA Evolved – The next version of HLA, which is being released during 2010

• Role and content based security technologies

• Modeling techniques, for example AI modeling techniques and FOM/SOM/BOM based techniques.

Read more about HLA in our Introduction to HLA Read more about what’s new in HLA 1516 on our HLA 1516 page We are also committed to provide products for the HLA Evolved standard as described in our HLA Evolved commitment (link to my letter in the current News section).

Pitch also provides solutions for the following legacy interoperability standards:

• HLA 1.3 – The older HLA standard, published by the US DoD.

• DIS – A legacy standard for platform simulations, standardized through SISO and IEEE.

R&D Achievements

Pitch has provided several ground-breaking product implementations for new standards, including:

• pRTI™ 1516 – the first HLA Run-time Infrastructure ever to get a certification for HLA IEEE 1516.

• pRTI™ 1.3 – the first commercial HLA Run-time Infrastructure to get a certification for HLA 1.3

Pitch has published numerous R&D- papers; several of them award-winners and selected best paper in category. Read more about our papers in our Papers section.
