A Validation Assessment of the Storm Air-To-Air Prototype Algorithm

Abstract

A validation assessment of the new STORM air-to-air prototype algorithm is accomplished using structural and output validation techniques. In the structural validation phase, the algorithms, code, and assumptions are evaluated to determine if the implementation of the model will match the intent of the designers. The components of the algorithm are compared to its predecessor, THUNDER, to evaluate if the prototype nnproves upon the weaknesses of THUNDER. In the output validation phase, the results of the model are evaluated to determine the extent to which the implementation of the model matches expected outcomes. Sensitivity analysis is presented to provide insight into the responsiveness of the algorithm to changes in aircraft performance. A two-level half-fraction factorial design with seven factors is used to determine the most significant factors.
