Complex Effects Understanding and Modeling
Abstract
This effort seeks to develop the fundamental understanding necessary to realize complex effects utilizing multiple geographically distributed sensor-effector nodes. This effort will develop new computational methods to accomplish simulations of complex systems that are intractable with current methods due to required interactions of multiple, dynamic physics formulations. This effort will pursue modelling and simulation to identify robust state spaces for distributed apertures capable of beam-forming, cross modal, and coherent sense and effect. Additionally, this effort will investigate sensitivity to synchronization quality and identify opportunities for cancellation and self-referencing. Focal instances include electronic warfare (EW), laser sense and effect, and kinetic effects. Science of design concepts will be investigated to efficiently pare down complex physical systems into tractable solutions including topology optimization and co-design.
