The RIEDP Study Group will operate for twelve to eighteen months and will investigate the level of interest and the best approaches for the development and utilization of standardize-able representations of environmental data and processes for use in simulation applications.

Within that broader context, the Study Group will focus on environmental data that can be immediately used in Aircrew Training and Mission Rehearsal applications.

Specifically, the focus of this effort will take into account the NPSI, AFCD, CDB, MDB, and French approach processes and data models with the expectation to improve their interoperability and reuse in a standardized approach.

As part of its outcome, the SG will recommend how to expand this focus to cover additional requirements.
