A Standard Simulation Framework to Support Operational Evaluation of Ship Self Defense
Abstract
The Navy Probability of Raid Annihilation (PRA) Assessment Process is a simulation-centric process for operational assessment of ship self defense combat system performance. For various reasons, live testing of end-to-end integrated hardkill/softkill performance against anti-ship cruise missiles continues to be problematic. The Navy PRA Assessment Process leverages federated simulations of ship combat system elements against independent threats in a common environment to augment live results and formulate an overall combat system assessment. A standard federation framework has been implemented in the Navy PRA Simulation Testbed. The PRA Testbed architecture defines the standards for interfacing combat system element simulations, implementing common threat and environment representations, and realizing integrated hardkill/softkill scenarios. Build 2 of the PRA Simulation Testbed deployed the federation across a secure WAN among three U.S. sites and was successfully completed in April 2003. This paper describes the Testbed architecture and its impact on Navy PRA Assessment process standards.
