Just a small comment on that 1516 part.
CERTI architecture makes it possible mix in the same simulation
HLA1.3 and IEEE1516 federate.

In fact CERTI internals almost does not care about the standard, this
is essentially
an federate API thing. That said since in HLA1.3 there was no user "encoding"
recommandation the only "possibly" incompatible thing is the encoding part.

To be clear, using CERTI a HLA13 federate may perfectly send and UAV
that will be received as RAV by a 1516 federate but bot federate
should use the same user encoding.

Again from CERTI point of view the 1516 encoding type are defined in
the libHLA part
which does not depend on any other CERTI library part (it can even be used with
any C++ application).

So to summarize, you should already be able to use Matlab HLA13 federate
with a C++ IEEE-1516 federate as soons as they use the same user encoding
for user provided data (attribute values of objects or parameter
values of interaction).
