Combat Management System training uses simulation of an overall tactical situation. This involves the real-time management of numerous and diverse entities to keep the simulation scenario consistent in a highly dynamic environment. To address this difficult problem, we propose an adaptive multi-agent system in which each entity is considered as a smart sensor/effector mobile. The autonomy and the dynamic behaviour offered to each entity leads the simulation to self-adapt to inevitable disturbances of the user. According to the cooperation paradigm, this approach also allows the mobiles to highlights a coherent global behaviour with mutual helping. Finally, the system shows the relevance of the Emergence Technologies in the elaboration of a new generation of sensors. This software is currently under development in GATES, a project of the DCNS company.
