Integrated COTS Technology for M&S Application Development
Chris Henderson, Vice President of Product Development

Industry is clearly communicating that project costs and integration issues are among the biggest challenges that are dealt with when developing modeling and simulation applications. Users require flexibility to choose from a wide variety of tools, standards, and formats to successfully deliver their projects on time and on budget.

In this presentation, Mr. Henderson will discuss how standards-based commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software, and an integrated portfolio of modeling and simulation tools, can offer a unique advantage in the development of an open, scalable, end-to-end modeling and simulation application.

From Raw Data to Running System: How Open Standards, Integrated Tools & CDB Will Save Organizations Time and Money

Chris Henderson, Vice President of Product Development

In the past, an offline or runtime processing approach utilizing disparate tools was used to compile databases. With this approach, different databases were created for each runtime system, correlation issues were common, and, when the overall application needed updating, the updates had to be implemented in each of the databases. Also, if the system suffered correlation problems, it was difficult to isolate and resolve such issues.

In this presentation, Mr. Henderson will discuss how using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software, open standards such as CDB, and an integrated portfolio of modeling and simulation tools can offer ways to overcome these challenges.   Mr. Henderson will illustrate how this integrated solution can ultimately reduce the amount of work and time needed to have a system up and running resulting in lower overall costs.

More than ever, armed forces require training for the many challenges they will face in today's urban-centric wars.  And with the rapidly increasing number of unmanned systems and the need for training and simulation capabilities becoming more critical in urban warfare, trends in M&S application development are shifting to address these needs.  In the second half of this seminar, Mr. Henderson will discuss some solutions to these challenges in order to efficiently develop applications for unmanned systems training & analysis in various contexts.  Topics will include developing visualization applications for training, creating scenarios in different areas such as urban environments for analysis, as well as realistic effects of weapons systems, counter-measures, and feeds from the sensors. 

Live Product Demonstrations
Demonstrations will focus on the latest Presagis product updates, and how you can leverage the Presagis software tool suite to help you efficiently develop your urban applications. This will include the use of artificial intelligence, scenario creation, terrain generation, and the creatino of airports and building interiors.
