General Simulation Environment for Guided Weapon Analysis

摘要

The subject of the paper is the simulation environment for guided weapon systems, developed in the MISsile Analysis Models (MISAM) project. It is meant to overcome problems in guided weapon simulation, i.e. difficulties in reuse of existing models and use of those models by non-computer specialists. The simulation environment is based on a structured breakdown of guided weapon systems, described in what is called the MISAM handbook. The handbook contains guidelines for structuring simulation studies. The simulation environment supports model development and composition as well as simulation preparation and execution. In the paper attention is paid to the characteristics of a guided weapon model and to the characteristics of the simulations to be carried out with that model. Finally, the development and use of the associated computer model are elucidated by the presentation of the first release of the implementation of the MISAM simulation environment.
