FRM Automated Development (FAD)

The Air Force desires a new methodology for automatically generating FRMs. This effort will continue the development of a physics-based software for rapidly producing FRMs that make physical sense and can be extended beyond their basis datasets. The development will transform the Phase I prototype software into a fully-automatic FRM generator capable of handling complex multi-mode problems. The project will include the extension of Phase I data science algorithms and development of new data science algorithms, integration of algorithms into larger global solvers, further development of prototype software, development of export tools for migration of FRMs, and a practical demonstration of the software’s ability to create an FRM for a complex problem. The completed software capabilities will include automatic generation of FRMs for complex multi-mode problems, division of data into regimes or modes of response, fitting of data within regimes, providing users with interpretable FRMs, utilization of both test and simulation data concurrently, visual analysis of data and developed models, and rational extrapolation of FRMs beyond the range of the original basis data.
