A System Engineering Approach to the Design of the Air Defense Artillery Simulation (ADASIM) Architecture
Abstract
In recent years, the Department of Defense has increased use of modeling and simulation (M&S) to augment and speed the acquisition of new defense systems. This work has included recent interest in using M&S to test new systems at all phases of the design life cycle. A test plan which leverages M&S technologies can drastically cut down on design cost and fielding schedules by identifying shortcoming and performance issues early on, and before making significant investments in time or money. likewise, M&S drastically improves our ability to conduct integration testing of new and existing systems in large-scale system of systems (SOS) type scenarios where total system testing is infeasible. However, integration of M&S techniques into current test doctrine requires detailed planning and standardization in order to ensure accurate validation and verification. This has prompted the urgent need for robust and standardized architectures for modeling, simulation, stimulation, instrumentation, data collection, and analyses. As the Army evolves toward a network-centric force, the need for integrated and standard test M&S enabled test environments becomes even more important.
