Exploring The Capabilities Of Cameo Enterprise Architecture To Integrate And Operate A Dynamic Model Of MK 15 Phalanx CIWS
Abstract
An increase in technology and software capabilities has led to an increase in computer modeling to better understand systems. There are many methods of modeling and various software programs created for this purpose. By exploring a program called Cameo Enterprise Architecture (Cameo), made by the software company No Magic Incorporated, the goal is to utilize this state-of-the-art software, used for model-based systems engineering (MBSE) by the DOD research labs, to drive a standalone physical model of the weapon system. Cameo provides a variety of tools for in-depth system modeling and architecture, and the goal of this thesis is to explore different applications of Cameo and techniques involved in using it to model real systems. This thesis presents a physical model of the Mk 15 Phalanx Close-in Weapon System (CIWS) builtusing the Lego Mindstorms kit and then develops a routine to control it from Cameo. Such an integrated model is thought of as a useful tool to verify the requirements of the system at the early stages of its design. The developed integral model is tested using realistic scenarios to determine the effectiveness of the diagrams and models created in Cameo.
