Weaving Together Enhanced Kill-Webs through Model Based Systems Engineering, Agent Based Modeling and Simulation, and Advanced Analytics

This proposal focuses on advancing tools and technologies that enhance mission engineering, kill web analysis, and model integration for the Department of Defense. The project builds on a foundation of advanced modeling and simulation capabilities and analytical frameworks developed in Phase I to address the complexities of modern warfare, including kill web analytics, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) conversions, and data-driven decision support. Key objectives include developing robust software applications that streamline workflows, improve analysis, and optimize mission outcomes by leveraging scalable cloud computing environments and innovative analytical techniques. Advanced metrics, such as those derived from directed graphs and hierarchical spatial partitioning systems, will support the evaluation of operational effectiveness, enabling detailed assessments of system performance across diverse scenarios. Additionally, the project emphasizes flexibility, scalability, and interoperability, ensuring that solutions align with evolving mission needs and integrate with established tools and workflows. Focused efforts on technology onboarding, security compliance, and end-user feedback loops will drive the transition of these technologies from research prototypes to operational tools.
