Key Features LaserFX is an interactive high-energy laser (HEL) lethality assessment tool used at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Directed Energy Effects Branch (RDLE). Supports the existing assessment process and enhances productivity...
SURVICE is developing LaserFX, a set of tools used by the Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Directorate (AFRL/RDLE) for the assessment of vulnerability to laser effects. LaserFX employs fast ray-tracing techniques, advanced physically...
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...
M&S in T&E: Cost Savings or Cost Burden? M&S use touted as “saving money in T&E” But often it seems to just cost more money Validation often the sticking point How to demonstrate that M&S are “good enough”? Validation data often are either not...
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...
Purpose The purpose of DSIAC is to inform DoD and federal government users of technology advancements to stimulate innovation, foster collaboration, and eliminate redundancy. Mission The mission of DSIAC is to generate, collect, analyze, synthesize...
SURVICE supports DoD and commercial agencies with all aspects of their E3 and SM life-cycle requirements. This support includes vast experience in inter- and intra-system electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC), shipboard effects...
SURVICE Fire Works (SFW) is a dedicated team within the SURVICE Engineering Company that is equipped with the tools and expertise to better understand, assess, test, and mitigate the fire threat to military and commercial platforms and facilities. We...
When estimating the lethality of an RF DEW or to harden/protect U.S. military systems and infrastructure from an adversary’s RF DEW, SURVICE determines how much RF energy is required on the target to produce an effect (i.e., system susceptibility...
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...
SURVICE employees Jim McNeely and Clark Dutterer attended a tour and briefing at the University of Maryland (UMD) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Test Site in Hollywood, MD, on Thursday, August 1. Sponsored by the local International Council on
The DE Systems Symposium focuses on systems aspects of DE in a limited-attendance environment. Portions of the Systems Symposium are conducted at the Secret level, and attendance at all sessions will be limited to U.S. citizens with security
Taught by former OSD Director of Live Fire for DOT&E, Mr. James F. O’Bryon, this 3-day, intensive Short Course takes a multifaceted look at the legislation, directives, requirements, preparation, execution numerous lessons learned from Live Fire
Ron Dexter presented a paper on SURVICE's High Energy Laser (HEL) damage modeling and test project at the Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) Annual Directed Energy Science and Technology Symposium held March 9-13 at West Point. The DEPS
