Maritime Lethality Analysis Toolset

The toolset Anyar will develop in this SBIR will provide a 3D physics-based engine for assessing the effects of single and/or multi-weapon engagements against maritime geometric target models. Many of the algorithms/methodologies for the physics-based calculations involved in maritime engagements already exist and have been developed by contractors and government agencies; however, they tend to be developed independently of each other resulting in a number of applications for analysis of these effects that have no way of communicating or cooperating with each other. The problem is that these methodologies are related and should be capable of working together to form a single answer/solution to the scenario in question. Due to the separate development of these methodologies, analysis of problems that need input from all or some of the methodologies to form one cohesive solution just does not exist. The toolset developed under this proposed effort is intended to do just that and provide a means for integrating the existing methodologies into one cohesive analysis toolset.
