Abstract

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) designed and implemented a new tool, The Rapid Mine Simulation System Enterprise Architecture (RMSSEA), to support existing naval mine warfare simulations and to provide enhanced future mine warfare capabilities. RMSSEA sup-ports existing physics-based models of Navy assets and threats in order to provide ship susceptibility and sweep effectiveness measures. The tool expands support for modeling of future systems, including maneuverable surface and underwater unmanned systems. Additionally, RMSSEA allows for simulations of distributed sensor and mobile warhead devices. The tool incorporates improved automation and visualization, which reduces simulation setup time and supports increased focus on results analysis.
