Air Anti-Submarine Warfare Modeling and Simulation Tool Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-004 Topic Title: Air Anti-Submarine Warfare Modeling and Simulation Tool Proposal No.: N101-004-1447 Firm: Sonalysts, Inc. 215 Parkway North P.O. Box 280 Waterford, Connecticut 06385 Contact: Robert Kurzawa Phone: (860) 326-3902 Web Site: www.sonalysts.com Abstract: Sonalysts, Inc. proposes to research the feasibility of developing a non-deterministic, stochastic, end-to-end ASW simulation which produces randomly indeterminate future possibilities described by probability distributions. The objective of Phase I will be the development and "proof-of-concept" demonstration of initial modeling algorithms incorporating advanced mathematical modeling and operations research techniques within Sonalysts' very viable commercial combat simulation architecture. The Sonalysts research project team has unique and unparalleled experience in maritime ASW operations, commercial gaming, modeling and simulation (M&S), and the development of advanced mathematical operations analysis algorithms. Benefits: This research will provide the Navy with a capable simulation which will serve as a bridge between current engineering and mission/campaign-level models. It will also provide the Navy with the capability to conduct analysis with demonstrable outputs on the utility of airborne ASW system capabilities and upgrades in the operational context of integrated systems and cooperative tactics and counter-tactics. The results of this type of tool could also credibly inform and calibrate more aggregate mission- and campaign-level tools with the full force of their context. This technology has a strong commercial transition potential for companies and/or corporations interested in developing DoD ASW systems. Return
