Advanced Tactical Laser Adaptive Simulator-Visualization, Operations, Training, Engineering, and Rehearsal Toolkit (ATLAS - VOTER)

The ATLAS-VOTER Toolkit is physics based with detailed aircraft models, environmental effects, operator, instructor, and analyst work stations, High Energy Laser (HEL) modeling, and graphic user interfaces. Because of the maturity of its componentsoftware modules, this SBIR effort could deliver a value added tool suite by the end of Phase I. We will combine the Schafer simulation products Integrated Systems Architecture and Analysis Code (ISAACr) and AirBorne Laser Engagement simulator (ABLEr)with the SDS AAcuityr products LiteFliter, Gateway Mission Function Server, and PC Image Generator. All five products are mature, formally validated and verified, and have a legacy of US DoD support. Their synergistic integration via DistributedInteractive Simulation protocols, and augmentation with Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) system parameters, provides SOCOM a tool for developing ATL tactics and CONOPS. ISAACr will also be upgraded to generically model the entire spectrum of future HELweapons and expected targets. The delivered tool suite will allow SOCOM to participate in distributed wargaming exercises in support of determining ATL military utility, and will provide a spectacular visualization capability for demonstrating to thechain of command how ATL and other laser weapons can be effectively integrated into future warfighting capability.
