Hostile Target Identification

The objective of this effort is to define key technical requirements/issues, develop a preliminary design, provide an implementation approach, and perform a feasibility/cost/fidelity trade-off analysis of a composite mission simulator capable of supporting low to medium fidelity real-time operation for electronic combat evaluations in the Integrated Defensive Avionics Laboratory (IDAL). QuesTech proposes to harness the latest in analysis and integration technology by applying object oriented design paradigms to produce a design which incorporates flexibility and standardization to effectively and efficiently meet the requirements of IDAL as well as other applications. QuesTech will maximize the flexibility in the design by implementing standards such as those developed for the Joint Modeling and Simulation System (J-MASS) while applying innovative technologies such as Object Broker to further insure the applicability of the designed system to a broad range of applications. The design will encompass an analysis of the full range of composite mission simulator technologies. The resulting design will reflect the optimum integration of technologies based on a thorough trade-off analysis and the incorporation of critical technologies to support future maintainability and fidelity management thus ensuring a design which is implementable and cost effective.
