Description
The term benchmark originates from the chiseled horizontal marks that surveyors made, into which an angle-iron could be placed to bracket ("bench") a leveling rod, thus ensuring that the leveling rod can be repositioned in exactly the same place in the future. A benchmark in computer terms is the result of running a computer program, or a set of programs, in order to assess the relative performance of an object by running a number of standard tests and trials against it. For over 10 years, GTRI has been involved in various"Benchmarks"that have been used by the Missile Defense Agency, Office of Naval Research, NavSea, and SIAP JPO. For the last nine of those years, Vectraxx has been involved in supporting the BMD Benchmark and using the IAMD Benchmark. The Vectraxx/GTRI team is perfectly positioned to develop the next high-fidelity simulation environment that will be a tool for comparing tracking algorithms.
