3-D Visualization Analyzer

FAAC Incorporated proposes to develop a 3-D Visualization Analyzer to aid with evaluation of weapon systems. The tool will provide an integrated environment capable of improving understanding and efficiency. The 3-D Visualization Analyzer will utilize data information produced by off line engineering simulations (or other suitable sources) to provide meaningful depiction of real world engagements involving 6-degree of Freedom entities representing launchers, weapons, and targets. The visual scene will comprise of textured polygons, satellite imagery, and detailed entity models. Operator controls will be provided to position the eyepoint and control frame rate with VCR-like controls. The main goal of the Phase I effort is to demonstrate the applicability of a visualization tool in evaluating performance of weapon systems. Phase I will include delivery of a usable prototype system to appraise the merit of visualization and serve as a basis for formulating Phase II development.
