Naval combat management system is a kind of complex weapon systems performing naval ship's warfare mission by integrating various types of system including sensor systems, weapon systems and many kinds of communication system. Recently, there are many studies to apply commercial high-level communication middleware to naval combat system development to integrate and interoperate various kinds of heterogeneous on-board systems efficiently. An initial discovery mechanism is required for application modules to start communication with their relevant modules to apply middlware technology in developing naval combat system, which is characterized by large-scale, complex and real-time system. This paper suggests a fast hybrid discovery mechanism which combines static and dynamic discovery mechanism and confirms its adaptability by an experiment on testing environment.
