Naval operations? assessment through a multi-purpose HLA simulation framework
Authors: Davide Tozzi, Federica Valdenazzi, Aldo Zini
Abstract
Ship design is a complex process that needs a wide range of technologies and methodologies to be accomplished, from computational calculations to physic based analysis. The main lack of this process is that ship?s performances and capabilities are difficult to be evaluated during early design phase. This is the reason why a simulation tool for the test and validation of naval operations procedures in different environmental conditions could fill this gap. Usually these operations involve more entities than the single ship, so it becomes important to arrange a synthetic environment in which different simulators and simulations are able to cooperate for demonstrating complex operations. Besides this, the ?system of systems? approach finds its applicability in the naval field where a ship can be represented as the cooperation of several subsystems. HLA distributed simulations represent a good solution for creating and simulating complex scenarios, allowing several simulators and partners to work together just exchanging inputs and outputs, but keeping safe intellectual properties rights. CETENA?s approach to deal with the evaluation of complex operations through the use of a multi-purpose HLA based simulation framework will be presented, with particular emphasis on the main simulation activities led by CETENA in the last years like Replenishment At Sea, Landing Craft maneuverability, Vertical Take Off and Landing, Small Craft Launch and Recovery.
