5-Dignitas Navy Technology Acceleration

The Dignitas Team will develop a cross-platform environmental and targeting database solution enabling shareable data as the Naval Enterprise trains, assesses, and certifies ships and aircraft in warfare against submarines and anti-ship missiles. We will build upon the Environmental Data Cube Support System (EDCSS) already integrated into Fleet Synthetic Training (FST). Leveraging the hypercube product as part of EDCSS provides for fast transformation of meteorological and oceanographic (METOC), and targeting scenario data into mission impacts through an n-dimensional lookup table holding pre-computed physics-based solutions for parameters of interest. This innovative hypercube approach helps to address the challenge in engineering content by providing a source of METOC and targeting impacts outside individual Navy training systems. This also reduces the burden on individual training simulation systems to produce these METOC and targeting impacts and will help to ensure simulation consistency among training systems using the hypercube. Our solution can be easily integrated into FST to provide a comprehensive solution for cross-platform, collaborative combat skills for Live, Virtual, and Constructive training at sea.
