JRM ENTERPRISES, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: JRM and VT MK propose an innovative, high-performance approach to the modeling and simulat

Description

JRM and VT MK propose an innovative, high-performance approach to the modeling and simulation of remote sensing platforms like the MH60, their respective full-spectrum sensors, and associated navy tactical data links. that is platform-independent, scaleable, and provides for physics-based high-fidelity. Leveraging JRM"s proven Target Acquisition Agent federate technology, and Mak"s tactical, visualization, and networking components, this approach will be demonstrated in the Phase I to provide platform-independence, scalability, and high-fidelity physics-based sensor simulation and acquisition assessment, and will yield a corresponding design for Phase II implementation using modern track management services. Using networked HLA federates, this architecture will allow sensor tier elements to be added and operated independently of the scenario control elements which define the common environment. Metrics will be developed which assess how well this new data model and architecture minimizes the complexity and cross-domain coupling typically associated with updated/new sensors and sensor capabilities, and integration of the architecture with existing and upcoming tactical data links will be addressed. Finally, as an option, JRM and VT MK will demonstrate a prototype of the proposed architecture, involving multiple realistic scenario and sensor control elements.
