Analysis of Space Shuttle Ground Operations on Behalf Of: Society for Modeling and Simulation International (scs)

To assess the feasibility of proposed launch schedules for the Space Shuttle, we have developed a simulation model of the flow of activities comprising Shuttle turnaround processing. Considering queueing delays caused by the limited capacity of ground facilities, the model estimates flight starting dates needed to meet a given launch schedule with a specified level of confidence. The results of...

Simulations Technologies in the Mission Operational Environment on Behalf Of: Society for Modeling and Simulation International (scs) Simulations Technologies in the Mission Operational Environment

This paper proposes a methodotogy for applying simulation technology to the monitoring and control of operations, focusing on the use of intelligent agents. These agents monitor the course of the real operation and compare it with the near-real-time simulation of that operation. When these agents detect significant differences between the planned operation and the real operation, they explore t...

Systems Simulation-based Sw/hw Architectural Design Configurations for Distributed Mission Training on Behalf Of: Society for Modeling and Simulation International (scs) Simulation-based Sw/hw Architectural Design Configurations for Distributed Mission Training Systems

Distributed Mission Training (DMT) is a concept composed of promising technologies that support training in a variety of domains such as defense and medicine. To develop and deploy such systems, it is important to account concurrently for hardware and software requirements, given high demands for network bandwidth, computing resources, and complexity of software applications. In this paper, we ...

Personnel Airdrop Simulation on Behalf Of: Society for Modeling and Simulation International (scs) Personnel Airdrop Simulation

We develop an object-oriented simulation that models the airdrop mission of a U.S. transport aircraft, the C-1 7 Globemaster III. The simulation, written in MODSIM III, is based on three basic object types: an aircraft, a wake vortex, and a paratrooper. The aircraft object provides the required aerodynamic constants for simulating the wake vortices generated off each wingtip; the vortex object ...
