Simulator Features

SimBuilder provides advanced missile trajectory and IADS simulations that can produce useful results in real-time or resource-constrained computing environments. Our GUI allows missile simulation for both unclassified versions of known weapons as well as the ability to create a new missile for experimentation or further development. Users can control a variety of missile and sensor parameters to develop simulations that can match the requirements for performance or training needs. As a result, aerospace engineering teams can conduct a careful analysis of a missile model or prototype, as well as train in the use of existing weapons without risk to personnel or equipment.

Build Your Own Simulation

  • SimBuilder can provide unclassified simulations based on commercially available weapon system information that can meet most training needs
  • For greater fidelity the SimBuilder suite of software is designed to work with a Graphical User Interface that allows for modification of all weapon parameters
  • Using the GUI, weapon simulation performance can be enhanced by the Customer to match the customer’s own data
  • The GUI allows the customer to create new weapons for experimentation or to add to their existing baseline
  • SimBuilder IADS optional add-on allows the customer to modify or create new IADS entities to add to an IADS network.
  • Sensor-specific data can be entered and tested in an IADS network to determine detection ranges based on orientation and radar cross-section.

Real Modeling of Weapon Performance

  • SimBuilder uses FAAC’s core simulation engine to produce weapon flyouts in real-time
  • FAAC’s core simulation engine is a 5-Degree of Freedom approach that is optimal for environments requiring multiple real-time simulations (typically 100+ simultaneous simulation flyouts at a training facility)
  • SimBuilder uses the same core simulation engine concepts and designs that are used to develop high-fidelity validated simulations used on US training devices

Enhanced Testing and Analysis: FAAC’s Air Combat Environment for Testing and Training (FACETT)

  • Fully integrates the SimBuilder libraries into a 3-D battlespace
  • Complete 6-DOF aircraft flight model can be joystick controlled and can launch weapons
  • Can replay recorded mission TSPI data to review weapon launches and analyze outcomes
  • Can re-run SimBuilder GUI test cases for a better visual understanding of trajectory behavior
  • Engagements can be recorded and replayed
  • Multiple instances of FACETT can be networked together in real-time
  • Full integration of SimBuilder IADS into the FACETT environment allows messages and detections reported to FACETT from SimBuilder IADS.
  • Customers can evaluate ingress/egress tactics against an IADS network and evaluate Electronic Countermeasure effectiveness against and IADS network.
