MultiSIM-APS Active Protection Systems Simulation

MultiSIM-APS is a DIS-compliant simulation for Manned Simulators or ModSAF entities. It simulates sensor and countermeasure subsystems designed to defend military vehicles, also called Hit Avoidance (HA) subsystems or Defensive Aide Suites (DAS).

Key Features

  • Flexible Selection of Sensors, Countermeasures, Countermeasure Prioritization Logic
  • Parametric Representation of Functional Performance Ranges, Countermeasure Effectiveness, Rields of Regard, Vehicle Attachment Points
  • APS Simulation for Multiple Defended Entities Hosted on a Single Workstation

Capabilities

  • Sensor Types – Launch/Flash Sensors, Tracking Sensors, Laser Warning Sensors
  • Response Logic – Crew Warning, Automatic CM Deployment
  • Countermeasures – Smoke/Chaff, EO/IR Missile CM Devices, Laser Decoy Devices, Active Protection Systems

Applications:

  • Simulation of an APS system in the MMBL Force Protection Experiment III and IAAPS Early On Experiment
  • Advanced APS system simulation in future DIS experiments
  • Distributed APS system evaluation in future DIS experiments
  • R&D tradeoff studies of APS components and threat resolution logic
  • Evaluation of human factors for APS warnings, displays and semi-automatic control
