COMSTAT

Optimized deployment schedules

A customizable analytic software that helps create effective force deployment schedules including high-level estimates about force availability and mission accomplishment.

  • Optimize planning using mathematical methods that connect goals, requirements, and rules to produce “best possible” schedules
  • Simulate reality using Monte Carlo methods to inject schedules with random “disruptions” to replicate operational challenges
  • Quantify trade-offs by rapidly building and comparing different scenarios with clear, intuitive schedule-based metrics and visualizations

ArcherEye

Mission effectiveness evaluation

A mission effectiveness evaluation that enables the user to define, develop, refine, and evaluate complex system-of-systems solutions and digital twins using quantitative technical and operational metrics and proven Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles.

  • Supports development and integration of MBSE models from the component level to complex systems, platforms, and networks
  • Links digital to physical by modeling physical behaviors (e.g., flight paths), basic orbital mechanics, and networks into a single, integrated environment for combined analytical insights
  • Provides full interoperability by bringing the right, tailored level of fidelity across all relevant domains

AthenaSight
