Tactical Medical Technology Evaluator for OneSAF

Development, approval, and fielding of next generation combat casualty care technologies is a time and resource intensive process. New simulation and modeling tools are needed to rapidly assess the impact of next generation combat casualty care technologies. Understanding the impact of the new technology, early in the design/development phase will benefit the Department of Defense by enabling the definition of more effective requirements, efficient resource allocation to those technologies with the greatest promise, and identifying key areas of future technological need. To address this critical need, Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI), along with our collaborators, are developing a Medical Capability Simulation and Evaluation Tool (MCSET) for evaluating the impact of emerging medical capabilities. MCSET offers the key advantage that high-fidelity combat medical simulations can be built in a flexible and scalable runtime environment. During the Phase I, IAI demonstrated the feasibility of MCSET to integrate a new medical capability into a OneSAF simulations to interact with medical simulation models in order to evaluate the impact of combat casualty care medical capabilities such as casualty evacuation, treatment and transportation. For the Phase II program, IAI will continue development of MCSET and demonstrate multiple medical capabilities integrated into OneSAF for simulation and evaluation.
