Submarine Automated Simulation (SubAutoSim) Navy SBIR FY2004.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2004.2 Topic No.: N04-159 Topic Title: Submarine Automated Simulation (SubAutoSim) Proposal No.: N042-159-0 Firm: 21st Century Systems, Incorporated 12152 Windsor Hall Way Herndon, Virginia 20170-2359 Contact: Conrad Donahue Phone: (401) 847-5770 Web Site: www.21csi.com Abstract: There is strong requirement to field an interactive simulation environment that will model tactical and environmental entities in real time and enable goal-directed scenario generation. This capability is especially desirable in system integration, testing, certification, training and life-cycle support activities. 21st Century Systems, Incorporated (21CSI) proposes to leverage our extensive expertise in command and control decision support and simulation and produce a state-of-the-art submarine simulation system for Virginia Class SSN crew training as well as Non-Propulsion Electronics System development. We call our concept the Submarine Automated Simulation (SubAutoSim). SubAutoSim is an intelligent agent-driven simulation environment and intuitive situational awareness client application that allows the user to rapidly build a simulation situation and to inject scenario changes mid-simulation in order to improve realism for systems development and training activities. Intelligent agent controlled components provide the capability for goal-driven entities. The client application will include advanced visualization with 2D and 3D components and a multiple user interface capability including voice, mouse, and joystick. The SubAutoSim concept also includes an intuitive scenario builder that allows rapid scenario development and scenario injects during execution. Benefits: The core value of this concept is the joining of a state-of-the-art synthetic battlespace simulation control with intuitive situational awareness and visualization for the operator/watchstander. This effort will culminate in an agent-based synthetic simulation control environment called SubAutoSim: a unique product. This product will allow developers and users of the Virginia Class systems to rapidly build realistic, goal-driven scenarios and execute them. The simulation environment allows mid-execution scenario injects to add realism, flexibility, and non-determinism to the simulation run. Many commercial applications would benefit strongly from the core concept: commercial training systems, mission planning systems, air traffic control training, and others. Return
