Innovative Modeling and Gaming Approaches for Submarine Battle Space Components to Identify Cost-Effective Capabilities and Technologies. Navy SBIR FY2005.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2005.1 Topic No.: N05-057 Topic Title: Innovative Modeling and Gaming Approaches for Submarine Battle Space Components to Identify Cost-Effective Capabilities and Technologies. Proposal No.: N051-057-0114 Firm: TKC INTERNATIONAL LLC P.O. Box 2102 Middleburg, Virginia 20118-2102 Contact: Anthony Wells Phone: (540) 253-5048 Abstract: TKC International LLC will employ its unique and innovative concepts for analyzing and modeling Submarine Force capabilities and technologies. TKC's Wells Doctrine, named after its inventor and PI, has been translated into a weapons-target centric modeling approach for submarines. TKC's model stands back from traditional platform centric approaches and analyses key data sources from the perspective of the end game, weapons on targets. TKC's concepts enable submarine build costs, through life ownership costs, including manpower, training, and operating costs, and R&D costs, to be put in a true context of total ownership. TKC weighs and measures submarine capabilities and technologies in terms of both economic cost effectiveness and, equally critically, in terms of weapons-target effectiveness. Benefits: TKC's models can be used in the national gaming centers, where government and Congress can employ the model for major decision making. TKC's approach can be used across the spectrum of DoD platforms. In addition, TKC's approach may be used by the U.S. defense industrial base to assist in a more relevant cost effectiveness analyses for determining future capabilities and technologies, and the use of scarce R&D resources. TKC's analysis, modeling and gaming concepts and applications may be used jointly by both government and industry. Return
