The generic methodology for verification and validation applied to medium range anti-tank simulation training devices

The Dutch Ministry of Defense (NL-MoD) has recently acquired an update of its medium range anti tank (MRAT) missile system, called the GILL. The update to the SPIKE Long Range (LR) weapon system is accompanied with the acquisition of new simulation training devices (STDs). These devices are bought Commercial off the Shelf (COTS). The question...

Meeting the NATO M&S Interoperability Challenge

The NATO Modelling & Simulation Master Plan (NMSMP) calls for the application of Modelling and Simulation (M&S) in areas that include, but are not limited to: Support to Operations, Capability Development, Mission Rehearsal, Training and Education, and Procurement. Common standards are essential enablers for simulation interoperability and re...

The Generic Methodology for Verification and Validation to support acceptance of models, simulations and data

The Generic Methodology for Verification and Validation (GM-VV) is a generic and comprehensive methodology for structuring, organizing and managing the verification and validation (V&V) of modelling and simulation (M&S) assets. The GM-VV is an emerging recommended practice within the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO). The...

SUPRA - Enhanced upset recovery simulation

The SUPRA research project - Simulation of Upset Recovery in Aviation - has been funded by the European Union 7th Framework Program to enhance the flight simulation envelope for upset recovery simulation. Within the project an extended aerodynamic model, capturing the key aerodynamics during and beyond stall for a large category transport...

Effective Use of Simulation Means in Collective Mission Simulation

Mission training and rehearsal are vital to successful operations. Advances in modeling and simulation (M&S) technology now allow for Collective Mission Simulation (CMS). The Royal Netherlands Armed Forces have exploited CMS through participation in a number of virtual exercises. The potential of collective mission simulation has been recognized...

Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) The GM-VV Contribution and Roadmap

Verification, Validation & Accreditation of Legacy Simulations using the Business Process Modeling Notation

Verification, Validation and Accreditation is an important part of the Modeling and Simulation domain. This paper focuses on legacy simulations and examines two VV&A approaches coming from different communities of the defense. We use the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) to describe both approaches and demonstrate their applicability to...

Performance testing of the Desdemona motion system

In the spring of 2007 TNO Human Factors together with AMST Systemtechnik GmbH have completed the development of their newest research simulator, the Desdemona, in The Netherlands. The Desdemona research simulator features a unique motion system not seen elsewhere in the world. Its serial design and geometrical dimensions give the motion system a...

Fidelity Assessment within the REVVA Generic Process

The REVVA methodology, developed in the WEAG THALES Joint Program 11.20, provides a framework for verification and validation activities resulting in an acceptance recommendation for data, models and simulations. The core of the methodology is the decomposition of the 'intended purpose' into acceptability criteria (AC). The V&V effort focuses on...

Fidelity considerations for civil aviation distributed simulations

The technical capability to network together simulators for al kinds of applications has already been proven. There are, however, still many unresolved issues regarding the ability of simulations to interoperate in a logically meaningful manner. One of the major concerns in development and validation of distributed simulations is the capability...
