据c4isr网8月27日报道
DARPA授予美国光辉科技（Radiance Technologies）公司和科尔工程服务（Cole Engineering Services）公司1930万美元合同，用于“安全高级仿真与建模框架”（SAFE-SiM）项目。
现有仿真通常局限于特定任务区域，不适合多域交互，而创建任务级别的仿真场景非常耗时，且需要专门培训。SAFE-SiM项目旨在创建一个直观的仿真与建模用户界面，提供快速场景构建、高级可视化能力以及能够对模拟数据进行广泛分析的工具。
根据合同，两家公司将开发一种实时系统，建立全战场、多领域、任务级别的模型，提供可视化与数据分析工具，使高级军事指挥官能够实践开发中的作战概念、编排部队结构、分配资源和规划技术插入。
DARPA awards contracts for advancing modeling and simulation capabilities
WASHINGTON — The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency made two multi-million dollar contract awards to create an advanced modeling and simulation environment to increase the speed at which military leaders make decisions.
DARPA, the Pentagon’s research and development arm, awarded a $10.1 million contract to Huntsville, Ala.-based company Radiance Technologies and a $9.1 million contract to Orlando, Fla.-based Cole Engineering Services as part of its Secure Advanced Framework for Simulation and Modeling (SAFE-SiM) program.
SAFE-SiM, run out of DARPA’s Adaptive Capabilities Office, is working to develop a “government-owned and controlled, faster-than-real time,” all-domain modeling and simulation environment at the mission level.
“This capability would enable rapid analysis supporting senior-level decisions for concept of operations development, force structure composition, resource allocation and targeted technology insertion,” the contract announcement said.
Today’s modeling and simulation tools aren’t robust enough for the Pentagon’s needs, according to the SAFE-SiM program broad agency announcement from earlier this year. They can only model a limited amount of domains or areas, aren’t well-attuned to cyber and electronic warfare, and struggle to account for the “factorial increase” in inter-relationships in a multi-domain kill-web, the announcement said. It also said current modeling and simulation architectures can’t process and disseminate data across classification levels quickly enough.
Work is anticipated to be completed on both contracts in August 2021. Fiscal 2020 research, development, test and evaluation funds totaling $3.75 million were obligated at the time of the award.
As for Cole Engineering, fiscal 2021 RDT&E funds amounting to $3.31 million were obligated at the time of the award.
The contract was competitively awarded with 10 solicitations received.
