SMART Overview

• Declining budgets and resources have driven
  communities to more efficient way of doing
  business.
• It is no longer acceptable to have separate
  communities working independently to identify
  requirements, engineer solutions, develop
  hardware prototypes, test the prototypes,
  manufacture the systems, support the systems, and
  train on and operate the systems.
• It is no longer acceptable for each of these
  communities to build and use their own MS to
  come to independent solutions.

6
Keys activities of SMART supported by MS

• Concept development
• Design and Engineering
• Logistics and Support
• Test and Evaluation
• Training
• Life Cycle Management

The emerging trend is reuse of MS work across
these activities COTS tools are a key enabler!

System Development Process
THE PROBLEM

• Multiple Integrators
• Handing Off Without Knowledge or Software Reuse
• Limited Collaboration
• Trainers Left to Figure Things Out on Their Own

Key Enablers for Reuse

• Modular and portable simulation applications
• Open architectures
• Rapid reconfigurability
• Emergence of industry standards
• Platform independent Automatic Code Generation
• XML-based data exchange
• Interfaces to complementary technologies

10
Concept development

• To identify, explore and analyze needed future
  operational capabilities
• Example Human-in-the-loop reconfigurable
  desktop simulator.
• Example Brigade level force-on-force ground
  battle simulation to explore new weapons effects

11
Design and Engineering

• To significantly reduce risk while examining
  factors such as reliability, availability,
  maintainability, transportability, provisioning,
  cost implications, and human-machine interface
  design
• Example Rapid prototyping lab and re-hosting of
  automatic code generation

12
Logistics and Support

• To assess distribution and supportability of
  goods based on reliability
• Example Scenario generation simulation which
  include equipment breakdown based on RM data
  coupled to spare parts movements from depot to
  consumer

13
Test and Evaluation

• To provide predictions of system performance and
  effectiveness. Ultimately reduce need for live
  TE based on confirmation of predictive data.
• Example Test and evaluation of flight control
  system software using flight simulation.

14
Training

• SMART involves continuous collaboration between
  user, builder and trainer. Models and
  simulations will transition from requirements and
  design to user training.
• Example automatic code generation of embedded
  cockpit display software for flight simulator
  using the same source as the real airplane
  displays.

15
Life Cycle Management

• To assess sustainment issues early in the system
  life cycle to reduce the long-term costs.
• According to the US Army, about 70 of a system's
  eventual life cycle total ownership cost (TOC) is
  determined before the program definition is
  completed.

Conclusion

• Modeling, Simulation and visualization are
  necessary to achieve successful defense
  acquisition and upgrade programs -gt this means
  less risks, better schedules, more cost savings
  and better system performance
• eNGENUITY has contributed to SMART with a strong
  portfolio of simulation and visualization
  products.
