Concept Definition: AN/SQQ-89 On-Board Trainer Scenario-Generation Software
Abstract
The AN/SQQ-89(V)-T() On-Board Trainer provides an at-sea training environment for sensor operators, ship teams, and ship/air teams by stimulating various sensors on surface ASW ships. Training sessions are controlled by scenario files, which specify the motions and the acoustic/electromagnetic emission parameters of simulated ships, submarines, and aircraft, as well as related medium propagation characteristics. Creating and modifying these scenario files is a labor-intensive operation. A variety of software concepts for computer-aided generation of training scenarios have been defined. A geometric transformation program permits the geometry of a scenario to be modified to support battle group training, to accommodate changes in sonar conditions, to optimize ship time and fuel usage, or simply to produce variety. A macrocompiler permits rapid assembly of a scenario from archived segments. A more advanced automatic macrocompiler permits the simulated targets and ownship to interact with each other according to user-defined functions during scenario compilation time. A reactive target emulator causes the simulated targets to react to each other and ownship in real time, thereby providing an interactive training environment.
