Simulation Science

AFSIM

The Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) is an object-oriented C++ library used to create simulations that model platform interactions in a geographic context. Platforms represent vehicles (ground, air, space, surface, subsurface), buildings, or living beings. Interactions include sensor detections, collisions, communications, jamming, to name a few.

Anyar’s primary focus with AFSIM involves engagement analysis, V&V weapon concept development, flight modeling, radio modeling, general M&S development, and other concept evaluation workflows for the Air Force Research Lab and other customers.

Previous/Ongoing work with AFSIM includes but not limited to:

  • Simultaneous Time of Arrival/ Cooperative Time of Arrival (SToA/CToA) algorithms.
  • Weapon Target Assignment (WTA) algorithms
  • DCODE (DARPA’s Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment)/CODE (NAVAIR Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment) interfaces.
  • Collaborative Autonomous Weapons Simulation (CAWS) interfaces.
  • Development of hypersonic intercept algorithms. 

CWS

CADAC Weapon Simulation (CWS) is an engagement-level simulation framework capable of simulating scenarios with many 6DoF and 3DoF entities (weapons and associated platforms), each with individual guidance and control algorithms, aerodynamic properties, and propulsive capabilities.

In addition to high fidelity, CWS also provides excellent performance with one-on-one engagements running at over 20x real-time and swarming scenarios with simulated systems running at or above real-time. In support of the rapid development of new platform models, CWS offers a general and customizable model with the option of comprehensive or concise tuning parameters.

Supporting CADAC and Missile DATCOM data tables, CWS offers a performant alternative to traditional engagement simulation engines. The CWS simulation engine can integrate with other simulation environments using simple CWS APIs, adding complex aerodynamics to otherwise-native AFSIM models for use in mission-level simulations. CWS is developed and maintained by Anyar, Inc. for the AFRL, which is distributing it to numerous other government and contractor organizations.

MATLAB

To produce high fidelity 6-DOF (Degrees Of Freedom) models for our DoD clients, Anyar uses MATLAB and Simulink to simulate flyout scenarios. These simulations are built-in Simulink, using the aerodynamic and mass properties of an object to accurately project its flight capabilities by solving the six Euler equations of motion for rigid body dynamics.

Autopilot, control system, motor, IMU, GPS, environment, and other modules can be added, removed, or changed from within the model. Monte Carlo simulations can be run to test the effects of uncertainty and noise inherent in the system. MATLAB is used to analyze the results of these simulations, producing accurate flight data.
