High Power Radio Frequency (HPRF) Dynamic Surface Engagement Modeling and Simulation Tool Navy SBIR FY2013.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2013.2 Topic No.: N132-134 Topic Title: High Power Radio Frequency (HPRF) Dynamic Surface Engagement Modeling and Simulation Tool Proposal No.: N132-134-0955 Firm: TechFlow, Inc. 2155 Louisiana Blvd., NE Suite 4200 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87110 Contact: Sameer Hemmady Phone: (505) 903-6845 Web Site: www.techflow.com Abstract: TechFlow Scientific proposes to develop a dynamic high-power radio-frequency (HPRF) engagement modeling and simulation (M&S) tool for predicting weapon effectiveness in Navy surface engagements, leveraging past related work to advance the development schedule. Our team brings considerable experience in HPRF M&S and analysis, software development, and integration of individual tools to create comprehensive engagement-level tools. We understand HPRF systems, and have developed software tools with intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUIs), including the Joint RF Effectiveness Model (JREM) and the high power microwave (HPM) Test Hazard Prediction (THP) tool, which are comparable in architecture and interface to the desired solution for this effort. The THP tool provides a graphical interface for scenario building, and supports sea surface and littoral scenarios. In both JREM and THP, tight integration with the simulation allows display of output plots directly in the scenario visualization windows. Our team also has experience in agent-based modeling, enabling us to integrate a representation of target vessel behavior for realistic engagement modeling. Our experience puts our team in an optimal position to develop this tool to meet the needs of Navy personnel responsible for the evaluation of HPRF weapon effectiveness, and/or development of optimal concepts of employment of weapon systems. Benefits: The completed engagement modeling and simulation (M&S) tool for predicting high-power radio-frequency (HPRF) weapon effectiveness in realistic surface engagements will be of great benefit to all personnel involved with Navy HPRF systems, including those involved in developing requirements for these systems, designing systems, performing Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), developing weapon concept of operations (CONOPS), developing contingency plans, or performing weaponeering tasks for any Navy HPRF system. The high-priority current need for this kind of analysis, and the more widespread future need, make the probability of success in this venture very high. Return
