LinQuest performs MS&A services in: |
 Modeling, simulation, and analysis is essential for the acquisition, development, test, and operation of complex, state-of-the-art DoD systems with multiple interfacing segments. LinQuest utilizes innovative modeling, simulation and analysis tools and methods, as well as cutting-edge information and visualization technologies, as part of our Modeling and Simulation efforts in support of critical space programs, including Milstar, Advanced EHF, TSAT, and GPS. The tools we develop and use provide support to systems engineering trade studies; technical and investment decisions; Analysis of Alternatives; doctrine and TTP development; training, exercises, wargames; and operational planning. Our analysis capabilities allow LinQuest engineers to find solutions to highly complex technical problems as well as verify performance of very complex systems and sub-systems.
LinQuest Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Capabilities
LinQuest combines advanced engineering expertise and software tools to provide unique and state of the art modeling, simulation and analysis of DoD systems. LinQuest utilizes both commercially available and LinQuest-developed modeling and analysis software tools to support the development and operation of advanced DoD space systems. Modeling and Simulation Tools Utilized By LinQuestCommercial Off the Shelf OpNet Satellite Toolkit MatLab Developed by LinQuest GPS Interference And Navigation Tool (GIANT) GIANT is a many-versus-many constructive and repeatable simulation tool that computes GPS and Inertial Navigation System (INS) performance and mission impacts in a benign or electronic combat environment. Evaluation Tool (SET) SET is an engineering software tool designed to analyze the loading capacity and configuration of satellite communication systems. Vertical Sensing Effectiveness & CONOPS Tool for Operational Requirements (VECTOR) VECTOR is a multi-platform & multi-sensor constructive simulation. It combines reference system errors with distributed and fused active/passive sensor performance errors for weapon & mission impacts. Milstar Communications Planning Tools (MCPT-i) MCPT-i is an operational software application that provides Milstar apportionment and mission planning, execution, and monitoring for both the strategic and tactical mission areas. Jitter and Delay Simulator (JDS) JDS is a transparent Ethernet bridge that delays incoming packets and induces jitter based on models of free space transmission time and the effects of the TSAT XDR+ waveform. It can be easily integrated with an existing network test lab to assess network and/or application performance given the jitter and delay characteristics of the TSAT system. MILSATCOM End-to-End Simulation Environment (MEESE) MEESE is a hardware and software-based simulation platform which models the various components of the end-to-end satellite communications systems. MEESE, originally developed for MILSTAR, has now expanded to include next generation satellite systems including AEHF and TSAT. Its open architecture and modular approach permits quick expansion to include other satellite communications systems. Terminal Control Simulator (TCSim) TCSim simulates Milstar and AEHF Payload to Terminal Access Control Protocols and the SMART-T to Terminal Control software communications link. TCSim is used to support AEHF Mission Planning System development and training. Using TCSim, developers and planners can simulate MPE operation and interface to a terminal without the need to use a real terminal, saving valuable resources and time. TSAT Dynamic Scenario Exporter (TDSE) TDSE models dynamic traffic, mobility, and weather by emulating the control plane messages between the terminals in the scenario and the payload resource controller. Milstar Integrated Space Picture (MISP) The Milstar Integrated Space Picture (MISP) is a SIPRNET-based web tool to relay Milstar information to JSpOC, SATCOM support, and warfighters. Network Centric Waveform Engineering Tool (NCWT) The NCW engineering tool is an engineering software tool designed to analyze NCW networks and estimate the satellite power and bandwidth requirements needed to support the networks. |
