Enhanced Visualization of Modeling and Simulation Processes

"Develop and prototype an Open Visual Toolkit (OVT) architecture with an open library of models, and enhanced visual environment for model development and interactive simulations. OVT is a new paradigm in M&S that builds on the robust, and technicallysuccessful foundations of the General Simulation System (GSS) and Run-Time Graphics (RTG) established by PSI. OVT maximizes the cognitive abilities of modelers and analysts be allowing them to build, grow, and visually interact and modify models whilerunning, and focus on and attain rapid, high performance, and high quality solutions to M&S tasks rather than get bogged down with build and debug complexities of low level languages and environments.OVT advanced capabilities include:¿ Open Visual Library of models, including communication system elements, weapons systems, air, land and sea vehicles, movement paths, sensor systems, C2 units, terrain, data sources, etc., that can be tailored and connected as needed in the visualrealization environment.¿ New paradigms for visually navigating complex simulation spaces: geographies, multi-tiered hierarchies, etc.¿ Dramatically increased capacity for iconic representations - over one million icons.¿ Support for 3D Visualization and industry standard overlays.¿ Easy ability to visualize external simulations for collaboration, fusion, and display of information. Profound improvement in the speed, quality, accessibility, and state-of-the-
