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.: N132-134-0751 Firm: WarpIV Technologies, Inc. 5230 Carroll Canyon Road, Suite 306 San Diego, California 92121 Contact: Jeffrey Steinman Phone: (858) 605-1646 Web Site: www.warpiv.com Abstract: WarpIV Technologies, Inc. (experts in M&S technology, standards, and frameworks) will collaborate with the Naval Postgraduate School (experts in naval operations, M&S, cognitive modeling, virtual environments, and HPRF weapon systems) to provide an integrated simulation capability that satisfies all of the requirements specified in this solicitation. It will incorporate battlespace entity representations, HPRF weapon systems, various sensors, data fusion, communications, and environmental models from legacy systems into the WarpIV Kernel implementation of the Open Unified Technical Framework (OpenUTF). Agent-based models will then be developed leveraging OpenUTF cognitive modeling constructs to support intelligent decision-making in contrast to less-realistic scripted behaviors found in many other systems. The proposed effort will leverage the advanced parallel processing mechanisms provided by the OpenUTF, along with its Monte Carlo replication management services, 2D and 3D visualization capabilities, and general-purpose mathematical/statistical analysis tool. The resulting capability will operate as open source on all mainstream operating systems, computing platforms, and development environments. Benefits: This effort will result in a scalable, next-generation, open-source, easy-to-use, composable, and cost-effective tool for analyzing HPRF weapon systems for the navy. This effort will leverage the cognitive (agent-based) modeling constructs within the OpenUTF to portray realistic intelligent behaviors and decisions. Furthermore, because the OpenUTF will likely become the de facto standard for future M&S on parallel and distributed multicore computers, this tool will automatically integrate with a wide spectrum of future models developed by other programs and agencies.
