This paper investigates an overall performance of virtualization schemes for a distributed combat system. The analyzed results can be used to enhance design approach for a naval combat system virtualization environment. Previous researches focus on virtualization structure, without what is a suitable virtualization scheme for next generation naval combat systems. Therefore, this paper evaluates available functions and performance of each virtualization scheme. Experimental results show that comparative performance of each virtualization scheme in terms of message response time in a Data Distributed Service (DDS) environment and virtual machine.
