The Department of Defense (DOD) is exercising a risk-based process for verifying, validating and accrediting models and simulations (M&S) used in system acquisition. Test and laboratory facilities can potentially have even greater potential negative...
When we think of validating models and simulations (M&S), we all think of comparing M&S outputs with test data. But how many of us have ever actually been successful in accomplishing that comparison in any repeatable and statistically significant way...
Because there can be serious negative consequences from acting on erroneous M&S and analysis conclusions, the DOD has developed and is exercising a risk-based process for verifying, validating and accrediting M&S used in system acquisition. Basing...
Tasking to support accreditation of Test and Evaluation Facilities in support of IFF Program Develop an accreditation case for T&E facilities for operational testing Applied risk-based M&S VV&A approach to facilities Approach applied successfully to...
The Concept The analytical plan is based on the mission. The data requirements are based on the analytical plan. The test plan is based on the data requirements.
Leveraging the strength-to-weight advantages of composite materials and unique manufacturing processes, the SURVICE Engineering Company and its manufacturing partner Automated Dynamics Corporation (ADC) have developed a composite electronics...
The Fire Prediction Model (FPM) is a tool designed to assist analysts in simulating fire ignition, sustainment, and suppression for aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles. FPM is the primary physics-based fire simulation model in use for vehicle...
In support of the U.S. military’s ongoing critical need to make combat vehicles (particularly air systems) lighter while simultaneously maximizing their survivability and operational performance, SURVICE and partners Automated Dynamics Corporation...
The SURVICE Engineering Company’s PenCalc™ penetration code is a spreadsheet-based implementation of two well-known penetration algorithms: the Project THOR and the Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME) equations...
Specializing in system safety, survivability, and effectiveness, the SURVICE Engineering Company is a small business that has provided the Department of Defense (DoD) and other customers with high-quality analytical products and services for more...
TurboPK is a fast, powerful computer survivability/vulnerability analysis program that is used to simulate and analyze kinetic energy (KE) weapons effects, including armor-piercing projectiles, fragments from exploding munitions, and air blast. The...
The field of modeling and simulation (M&S) has become an integral part of the systems acquisition process, augmenting design, development, and T&E while reducing program technical and cost risk. M&S can examine a broader tradespace in a shorter...
