PROJECTS
Alternative Aggregate Combat Modeling
Unit-level combat models provide computational efficiency, with the result that they can simulate large scenarios in terms of geographic scope and size of military forces involved and are often able to execute much faster than real-time. However, existing unit-level combat...
Bowl Championship Series Rankings
The difficulty arises, of course, in selecting the two teams to play in the BCS Championship game. The BCS recognized that the media poll and the coaches' poll should be important components of the ranking system, but also recognized the emergence of computer rankings as...
Map Projections Minimizing Distance Errors
It is useful to have mathematical criteria for evaluating errors in map projections. The Chebyshev criterion for minimizing rms (root mean square) local scale factor errors for conformal maps has been useful in developing conformal map projections of continents. Any local...
Simulation-Based Integration Testing Design Study
The various primary systems of military aircraft and missiles (avionics, propulsion, sensors, and weapons) and the subsystems within them must exchange data in order to perform their functions. Integration testing for those systems and subsystems can be time-consuming,...
Sensor Footprint Approximation in HLA DDM
The High Level Architecture (HLA) is a set of architecture and infrastructure standards for distributed simulation. The HLA Data Distribution Management (DDM) services filter the simulation data received by the federates in a federation based on the federates' data...
