Ocean Sensor Interface Simulation for Integration Testing

Sedna Digital Solutions, LLC (Sedna) has experience in the real world behavior of sensor technology as used in current NAVY combat systems. Sedna proposes to use its knowledge of real world sensor behavior, combat system array interfaces, existing high fidelity simulation, and general combat system test techniques to advance a concept that better matches what a combat system will encounter upon deployment with new or modified sensor arrays. Sedna proposes to optionally move the high fidelity injection point from post array signal conditioning to the array interface point. By making this move and adding real world sensor faults, the combat system will be stressed with real world like stimuli at the system development site. Stimulation at the system development site allows for cost effective repair of undesirable combat system behavior that would eventually have occurred at the installation site or, even worse, at deployment. Furthermore, Sedna proposes the reuse of existing high fidelity and array interface test software. The approach protects and enhances the NAVY"s previous investment in this software.
