The Advanced Modeling and Simulation Environment
(AMSE) is a robust analytic simulation
originally designed for examining air missile
defense issues in a family of systems. However
its inherent capabilities has enabled
application across a wide variety of domains.
AMSE supports modeling of systems across the full military spectrum from land
and sea based, through space based. An object-based simulation
architecture supports this breadth of applicability by allowing the user to
develop system models called specific system representations (SSR's). The user
can then place numbers of these SSR's on a host gameboard that contains the
terrain and weather models without a requirement for rewrite of other existing
system models or modification of the supporting architecture.
By placing model-development power in
the hands of users, AMSE has stimulated the
ongoing development of a range of system models
by system proponent agencies across all
services. These agencies continue to certify models for a documented range of uses and contribute them to an SSR
library, which is accessible to other
AMSE users. AMSE will thus become
the first simulation to offer access to a library of system models contributed
and certified by a diverse group of joint-service and, potentially,
international sources.
