Differences in the desired fidelity and abstraction for the development of simulation systems provide models with distinct purposes and modelling, i.e. resolution discrepancies. In the distributed simulation field, interoperability is a feature that enables the linkage of different systems in an integrated exercise. The development of this linkage is a non-trivial task and presents many challenges. In this context, the MASA SWORD, which is an aggrega- ted constructive simulator with high-level abstraction and mainly used to strategic training, has a HLA plug-in to enable the simulator to participate in a HLA federation as a federate. However, this HLA plug-in was developed based on your constructive model that abstracts many details and works with a small set of information. This characteristic makes it unable for integration with simulator that require a higher information level. This work presents a solution for this problem, called SWAF (SWORD Auxiliary Federate), which extends the SOM (Simulation Object Model) - information set with which the simulator works through its HLA interface - of the constructive simulator to interoperate with a virtual tactical simu- lator in a HLA federation. The SWAF allows the publication of additional information about MASA SWORD through an auxiliary federate that works in parallel with the original HLA plug-in of SWORD. A discussion about interoperability is also presented and used to define requirements specification that are modeled in a new federation agreement. The work uses an indirect SOM extension methodology to overcome COTS (Commercial off-the-shelf) bar- rier and kept intact the original HLA interface of SWORD simulator. To validate the work, a study case was developed with Simulador Virtual Tático de Reconhecimento, Escolha e Ocupação de Posição (SVTat REOP).
