SONALYSTS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: N101-004

Description

Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) N101-004, Air Anti-Submarine Warfare Modeling and Simulation Tool, was issued to determine the feasibility of developing an Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Modeling and Simulation (M&S) tool to bridge the current gap between engineering and campaign-level tools. For this Subsequent Phase II, Sonalysts proposes to develop a FDECO Test Range Simulator (TRS) based on the Simulation Engine II (SE II) commercial game engine and associated Global Tactical Simulation (GTS) domain package. Key objectives include enabling experimentation within a relevant operating environment, visual communication of FDECO hardware technical functions, the validation of FDECO operational utility through the collection of metrics, an extension of the FDECO prototype live demonstration, and providing FDECO stakeholders with an interactive experience of FDECO capabilities. Sonalysts proposed approach includes Base period Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 3 software development of a TRS Proof-of-Concept (POC) that will enable the conduct of operations analysis and the development of the FY17 FDECO Story video. This will be followed by Option period CMMI Level 3 software development of the FDECO TRS prototype system, which will enable additional Operations Analysis (OA) and the production of the Option period video.
