Drivers of the VVA Process

• Information available on the Federates
• Pedigree
• Algorithm basis
• Data Requirements
• Underlying assumptions/limitations associated
  with Federates
• Objectives which determine compatibility
  requirements
• How level does the playing field need to be
• Common reporting methodology
• Configuration Management
