GARD

GARD (Graphical Abstract Representation of Data) is a toolkit used within our tools to enable people to understand and simplify the complexity involved in a complex system by providing a graphical environment to explore the relationships between entities in a model.  The model can contain concepts from a variety of domains such as requirements, functional architecture, technical design, and implementation as well as other system models where a web of multi-connected relationships exists.

DF-ASSET

DF-ASSET

DF-ASSET (Data Fusion Algorithm Simulation, Stimulation and Evaluation Tool) is a tunable, modular, open, component-based test bed that generates representative sensor data from a predefined scenario, feeds that data to a component containing a “data fusion algorithm under test”, displays the resulting tracks graphically with error information, and generates reports and metrics characterizing the data fusion model. Object OneSAF (OOS) and NASA World Wind are used as integrated tools to support analysis and execution.

ADA2C++

  • Provides 90-98 % code coverage
  • Translates ADA 83 and Ada 95 to various ISO compliant C++ compilers
  • Preserves comments, code structure and case consistency
  • Target platform and processor independent. This allows you to be re-target to any processor with an ARM or ISO compliant C++ compiler

ConceptualWorks

ConceptualWorks

ConceptualWorks provides you with the necessary components and tools to develop data models which will enhance the understanding of software architectures, systems, and simulations. ConceptualWorks levels the BOM standard, which provides a means to represent aspects of an integrated M&S and BC architecture. ConceptualWorks gives you the ability to create, edit, visualize, validate, and export data models. User friendly UML-like diagrams allow users to quickly build models that can be exported to HTML for viewing/printing, or, exported to other model standards such as the HLA OMT.

DEXTER

DEXTER is a tool that allows development of a service (traditional Web Service, Java RMI, CORBA, etc.) once and only once by providing the ability to deploy that service in any number of platforms using various environments without having to redesign, recode, and retest. DEXTER helps reduce time and cost in moving services from host to host by way of eliminating the need to redesign, redevelop, and retest a service implementation. Additionally, those with a limited knowledge of a web service could perform deployment operations that were previously best suited to the developers of the service or an expert in that particular server environment.

Schedule/Risk Synchronizer

SSyT

Schedule/Risk Synchronizer is a Java and XML based toolset that integrates schedule and risk information from diverse sources and provides a mechanism to communicate changes in near real time to all interested parties within a single, integrated view for decision making. The schedule and risk synchronization tools are designed to run either stand-alone or as part of the Open Architecture Technology Insertion Management Environment (OA-TIME). The tool can also integrate with Microsoft Office by generating ready viewable PPT slides portraying schedule information.

DAU SAM

DAU SAM Web Site (Defense Acquisition University Services Acquisition Mall) site is a great example of hi tech and high touch. DAU SAM revolutionizes government and commercial contracting by providing an “open to the public” knowledge and information share broke down by subject or official service code name.

ProcessWorks

ProcessWorks

ProcessWorks is the only workflow tool tailored specifically for defense program managers.  It offers a graphical and integrated view of all aspects of a program such that operational, training and logistics needs can be supported. ProcessWorks will provide the Program Manager (PM) with the ability to: 1) build his acquisition process from scratch, 2) retrieve information from past acquisitions, then move the activities and dates to reflect current or desired production, and/or 3) take the current process and perform “what-if” drills evaluating cost versus risk based on funding, schedule or technology changes. The use of the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is being considered for future versions of ProcessWorks™.

ArtilleryModeler

ArtilleryModeler is a tool that models the flight of artillery and munitions while providing a 2D and 3D visualization of that flight. Different models for projectiles can be quickly incorporated and exercised. The 3D visualization is provided by an embedded Google Earth window that allows users to watch the flight in a stationary manner or get a view looking from the munition during flight. Depending on the model, users can even guide the projectile by selecting a target on the ground or adjusting the flight with the keyboard arrows.

ArtilleryModeler has been used to support the Navy in prototyping the Mid Range Ballistic Attack Munition (MR BAM).  It was used to simulate the operator experience and offer a proof of concept. This included adding overlays and operator cues during the flight of the munition. It also provides a model of a 155mm artillery shell which takes weather and random variance into account. Multiple shells can fired simultaneously or periodically, all with different parameters such as launch angle.

MTAT

MTAT

MTAT (Mission Task Analysis Tool) is used to organize all elements that impact your Task Analysis. It provides the Systems Engineering and Human Systems Integration (HSI) workforce a way to carry out a structured task analysis for the projects and programs supported by their team. MTAT facilitates the planning, organization, assessment, reporting, and recommendations that are required for guiding, building, and sharing various task analysis processes and products. MTAT is a software tool that supports individuals and teams conducting human task analyses for acquisition programs.

WorkLogManager™

Working hand in hand with Builders Choice Excavating, a Fredericksburg, VA-based concrete company, SimVentions employees took on the task of automating their work scheduling and management processes. In less than 48 hours, the work scheduling and management processes were mapped and represented in a web-driven real-time environment, and presented to the customer. After a short period of trial use and testing, the web-based application went live in less than one month. "SimVentions has been a pleasure to work with, very responsive, professional and knowledgeable. The Work Log Manager has literally saved us thousands of dollars. It has allowed a distributed team to stay in sync...even when the schedule changes (sometimes several times an hour!). Thank you SimVentions.”— BCE CEO Dave Sedlak.

Deploying WorkLogManager™ does not require the installation of any software on your local computers and/or other web-browser capable devices. You just point the browser, log in to the secure web location that serves the WorkLogManager™ web-based application suite, and you are up and running! The WorkLogManager™ supports most mobile devices, including Smart Phones, PDAs, Hand-Helds, and Laptop computers.

SimVentions ICW Engine & Viewer (SimVIEW™)

SimVentions ICW Engine & Viewer (SimVIEW™)

Training, which has historically been constrained to an instructor using slide presentations and handouts has changed dramatically with the production of the SimVentions Interactive Courseware Engine & Viewer (SimVIEW™). Concepts as complicated as DoD's Data Registration and Correlation capabilities, which are difficult to envision from the written or spoken word, have been made much easier for students to comprehend with the use of SimVIEW™s fully interactive animations and simulations. Textual presentations are accompanied by explanatory audio, animations, video, and student interactions that allow the student to really grasp these, or other, challenging concepts. SimVIEW™ allows students to completely control the accompanying animations.

The courseware information is presented in a variety of ways, utilizing as many of the student's senses as possible. These include: text screens, text and audio, video, animations accompanied by explanatory text and audio, and fully interactive system operation simulations. The courseware can be made available in many formats including: Windows executable file, Flash Shockwave “SWF” file which can be played by over 98% of potential users, HTML, CD, and DVD.

The SimVIEW™ engine behind this courseware can be adapted to a tremendous variety of applications. Basically, if there is a user interface and a definable way in which the user and the system are to interact, SimVIEW™ can handle it! SimVentions stands ready to help you take your training project to the next level.
