Command and Control Course of Action (COA) Analysis Tool

Defense plans are currently designed around rigid scenarios and specific conditions that may or may not actually occur in the battlespace. Furthermore, current simulation tools do not offer flexible approaches that support what if analysis and system optimization problems. WarpIV Technologies, Inc. proposes to leverage and extend its scalable, five-dimensional, Missile Defense Engagement Model (MDEM) capability, along with its collection of visualization and analysis tools, using the WarpIV Kernel to host the COA Analysis Tool. MDEM provides a self-contained collection of end-to-end composable, physics-based, parameterizable, high-speed, entity-based BMDS models that will be used to generate the integrated battlespace environment. When executing in five dimensions, all statistically significant possible outcomes will be explored within a single high-speed run, thus eliminating the need for Monte Carlo techniques to form statistical measures of effectiveness and performance from multiple trials.
