Ballistic Missile Program BMP3-S

Orlando, FL

Weapons systems utilizing infrared sensors require IR sources to be presented in the correct locations on the target with the correct radiance so the user weapon system can detect, recognize, acquire, track, and hit the target using terminal maneuvers to strike the target. Imaging IR sensors approach the resolution of visible wavelength imaging sensors and require a target of the correct shape with sources in the correct locations. The approach used for obtaining the correct infrared signature consisted of matching the thermal mass and routing the existing heating and cooling sources. Thermal mass matching was accomplished by using thinner steel for aluminum and water tanks for thicker metals. Experiments have shown that the surface temperature of the water tanks closely matches the temperature of the solid metal armor over the diurnal cycle. Hence, the IR signature should be present in correct proportion to the total signature and background across the diurnal cycle. Intake and exhaust air were rer outed to achieve proper heating and cooling distributions.

The Virtual Targets project develops new, high-fidelity CAD models of field equipment for use throughout the Army and Department of Defense.

Warfighters' Simulation (WARSIM)

Orlando, FL

The Warfighters' Simulation (WARSIM) trains and provides mission-rehearsal capabilities for Army and Joint commanders and their staffs during war, conflict and peacetime. WARSIM portrays activities associated with post-employment operations such as war termination and post-conflict operations including restoring order, supplementing civilian government, providing humanitarian assistance, redeployment, reconstitution and demobilization. The simulation accounts for the time and space factors associated with large unit movements (division and corps) as well as the differences between heavy and light units. The simulation allows all units, including combat support and combat service support units, to be committed to combat operations in response to threats in a rear area. The WARSIM system uses a software computer-based simulation and associated hardware to support the planning, decision-making and operational execution of unit commanders and their staffs from battalion through theater level as well as the training events in educational institutions. Designed and built using modern computer technology, modern software engineering techniques, and verified and validated algorithms and databases, it will allow units worldwide to train using their organizational real-world command and control equipment.

Weapons Handling & Launch Electronics Trainer

Orlando, FL

The Weapons Handling and Launch Electronics Trainer consists of modified tactical Weapons Handling and Launch Systems Panels, commercial-off-the-shelf equipment, and special purpose simulation programs, which are controlled from an Instructor/Operator Station via the Input/Output Controller. When stimulated, this equipment emulate the normal operation and fault indications of the SSN21 and SSN688 class submarine Internal Auxiliary Launchers, SSN21 Launcher Control Display Panel, and SSN21 Weapons Launch Console prototype tactical equipment. The SSN21 Weapons Handling System is totally simulated using an Instructor Operator Station Personal Computer with touch screen display and a three bay cabinet containing Personal Computers with touch screen displays. The right and left touch screen displays emulate the man-machine interface for the port and starboard Weapons Handling Control Panels and provide selected tactical operational functions. The center touch screen simulates activity in the torpedo room and provides the student with interactive equipment animation and graphics signifying what is taking place in the torpedo room as various actions are performed by the operators at the two simulated Weapons Handling Control Panels.
