Modeling and Simulation
Asset LLCsupports Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine clients examining possible ways to enhance weapons system performance using high fidelity modeling and simulation to evaluate system performance.

Ground Vehicle Autonomy Simulation
In conjunction with the simulation capabilities for immersive ground vehicle simulation, Asset
LLC also develops, in coordination with US Army CCDC GVSC, the Continuous Autonomy
Simulation Test Laboratory Environment (CASTLE). The CASTLE environment is established
and is being refined to provide capability to augment physical testing and to evaluate edge
cases with autonomy hardware or software in the loop. This simulation capability involves the
virtual vehicle and environments as in the immersive simulation, and autonomy sensor
models that provide realistic inputs to autonomy algorithms.
Immersive Ground Vehicle Simulation
Asset LLC has been developing, integrating, and conducting experiments in
immersive ground vehicle simulation environments for close to three
decades. Asset LLC has worked with US Army CCDC Ground Vehicle
Systems Center to develop and integrate latest image generation HW/SW,
virtual terrain models, and combatant / non-combatant simulations, scenario
automation tools, manned and unmanned vehicle and sensor / weapon
system simulations to support future ground vehicle research in virtual
battlefields. In addition, Asset LLC has developed and integrated vehicle
multi-body dynamics simulations along with all of the above models and
simulations to conduct experiments in 6 DoF motion simulators. Further,
Asset LLC has integrated varying degrees of hardware and/or software in
the loop environments for system testing and evaluations in the lab or in
field.


Target and Scene Generation
Asset LLC has a long history of target and scene generation in the Air Force Research
Lab, both at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (AFB) and Eglin AFB. Asset LLC
subsidiary, Infoscitex (IST), developed SubrScene, a widely known battlefield, sensor
and “Out the Window” visualization tool. IST also developed ECHO, an open-source
terrain construction tool to provide high fidelity terrain databases for analysis. Asset
LLC experts in Fast Line of Sight Imagery for Target and Exhaust-plume Signatures
(FLITES) perform integrated target/missile system flyout
as seen through a seeker?s
perspective. We also support the AFRL Scene Generation Team and Kinetic Kill
Vehicle Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator (KHILS) Team that maintains configuration
control, distribution, testing, validation, and verification of FLITESv2 on many customer
projects, and across the frequency spectrum.

Verification and Validation
Asset LLC has extensive experience in model verification and validation through
our support to various weapons programs, on the ground and in the air. We
specialize in model development (e.g. aerodynamic databases and autopilot and/or
ground control equipment). For subsonic through hypersonic flight regimes, we
plan and conduct aerodynamic and propulsion testing (full-size and subscale wind
tunnel testing), ground testing (Hardware-in-the-Loop [HIL]/Software-in-the-Loop
[SIL]), and support flight testing. We analyze system performance in the areas of
aerodynamics, propulsion, guidance, navigation, and control. As a result,
numerous weapons models, used for mission planning, flight certification,
airworthiness analysis, and performance specification compliance analyses have
been improved and accepted for use by the Air Force, Navy, and other government
agencies. As more and more reliance is made on simulations in lieu of open air testing, rigorous V&V efforts save time and money. Asset LLC has been used as a
trusted agent for modeling and simulation and V&V of weapons such as small
diameter bombs, joint air-to-surface standoff missiles, long range anti-ship
missiles, arrows/bolts, joint standoff weapons, high-speed antiradiation missiles,
and many others.


Simulation and Analysis
Asset LLC subsidiary, Infoscitex (IST), has over two decades of experience
performing weapon systems effectiveness analysis using a simulation-based
research and development approach. We formulate trade space problems,
conduct design of experiments and use the latest data analysis techniques to
answer challenging operations research questions. We use a variety of campaign,
mission, engagement, and engineering level tools. We employ constructive,
virtual, and live simulation approaches to conduct these evaluations. We are
experts in building suitable system/subsystem models, constructing relevant,
multi-domain environments, and running experiments of complex scenarios.
In support of Air Force Research Laboratory, IST manages the Advanced
Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) code base,
integrating capability updates from the user community, developing tools, and
managing software distribution. We developed and support critical AFSIM support
tools for scenario generation (Wizard) and interactive analyses (Warlock),
distributed with the code base. We support the AFSIM helpdesk function and
provide AFSIM user and developer training.
