Commercial Off-the-Shelf Software and Simulation Tools
Abstract
In this paper the author will present the arguments supporting the case for using Commercial Off-the-Shelf Software and Simulation Tools (COSST) in major defense systems whether for actual combat or for embedded training purposes. Whether the objective is a service life extension new development or an upgrade to certain system level functions and operations COSST have come to represent the solution when budgets and time scales are tight and engineering staff are becoming harder to come by. The author will describe how his company's tools have been layered over the engineering simulation test and analysis processes at major defense firms to improve reuse assist in knowledge capture and to produce results in major weapons systems programs.
