Validation of the Standard Mobility Application Programming Interface Fidelity 1 and 2
Abstract
This report documents the validation of the stand-alone Standard Mobility Application Programming Interface (STNDMob API) at Fidelity I and 2, hereafter referred to as the STNDMob. Fidelity 1 and 2 functionality addresses the lower resolution speed prediction capability of STNDMob, Version 3.2.3.0. Future efforts may consider STNDMob's medium resolution speed prediction capability referred to as Fidelity 3 and 4. At the time of this writing, the validation of Fidelity 3 and 4 functionality is not planned. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Reference Mobility Model II (NRMM) Version 2.7.2 is the standard by which the STNDMob Fidelity 1 and 2 predictions were validated. The Training and Doctrine Command Analysis Center (TRAC) is the developer of the Combined Arms Analysis Tool for the 21St Century (COMBAT XX!) model. TRAC has designated the U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) as the verification and validation (V&V) agent for the physical algorithms. COMBAT XXI is the Army's next generation Brigade and below combat effectiveness simulation. COMBAT XXI will allow for higher fidelity ground mobility predictions relative to legacy combat effectiveness models. The core element that allows COMBAT XXI to effectively simulate mobility at these higher fidelity levels is the STNDMob. It was determined that a validation of the stand-alone STNDMob prior to its integration with COMBAT XXI was appropriate. The STNDMob is being developed by the U.S. Army Corps of En ineers, Engineer Research and Develoment Center (ERDC).
