Tactical Medical Technology Evaluator for OneSAF

While there are numerous emerging combat casualty care technologies that offer the promise to impact battlefield mortality, development, approval, and fielding of these 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 propose to develop an effective Medical Capability Simulation and Evaluation Architecture (MCSEA) for evaluating the impact of emerging medical capabilities. MCSEA offers the key advantage that high-fidelity combat medical simulations can be built in a flexible and scalable runtime environment. MCSEA will provide systematic architectural approaches and interfaces to allow 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.
