Design and Capabilities of an Enhanced Naval Mine Warfare Simulation Framework

Abstract

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) designed and implemented a new tool, The Rapid Mine Simulation System Enterprise Architecture (RMSSEA), to support existing na-val mine warfare simulations and to provide enhanced future mine warfare capabilities. RMSSEA sup-ports existing physics-based models of Navy assets and threats in order to provide ship susceptibility and sweep effectiveness measures. The tool expands support for modeling of future systems, including ma-neuverable surface and underwater unmanned systems. Additionally, RMSSEA allows for simulations of distributed sensor and mobile warhead devices. The tool incorporates improved automation and visuali-zation, which reduces simulation setup time and supports increased focus on results analysis.
