Phase I

Contract Number: F08635-99-C-0050
Start Date: 5/20/1999    Completed: 2/20/2000
Phase I year
1999
Phase I Amount
$98,532
The purpose of the proposed effort is to study the feasibility of developing a software tool on a Windows NT based PC that will allow simulations within the Preflight Integration of Munitions and Electronic Systems (PRIMES) Installed System Test Facility (ISTF) at Eglin AFB to be performed at the mission level. The goal is to leverage the capabilities of existing and future mission planning systems such as AFMSS and JMPS by using the outputs of those mission planning tools as inputs to this software package which will be integrated into the existing simulations at the PRIMES. The requirement specifications and preliminary design of this tool will also be established as part of Phase I

Phase II

Contract Number: F08635-00-C-0098
Start Date: 5/21/2000    Completed: 5/21/2002
Phase II year
2000
Phase II Amount
$716,392
The purpose of the proposed effort is to develop a software tool on a UNIX-based SUN system and on a Windows NT-based PC that will allow simulations within the Installed Test Facility of the PRIMES to be performed at the mission level. The goal is to leverage the capabilities of existing and future mission-planning systems such as AFMSS and JMPS by using the outputs of those mission-planning tools as inputs to this software package. A Mission Level Modeling and Simulation Interface Tool will be developed for a SUN-based AFMSS MPS III and a Windows-based PFPS with hardware and software delivered to the ISTF upon completion of Phase II.
