Interactive Scenario Builder
Interactive Scenario Builder is a modeling and simulation, three-dimensional application developed by the Advanced Tactical Environmental Simulation Team at the Naval Research Laboratory that aids in understanding radio frequency and electro-optical/infrared propagation.
Uses
- RF and EO/IR tactical decision aid
- Creation/generation of complex electronic warfare synthetic environments
- Simulation of both hardware and/or modeling of existing and future EW systems
- Visualization of the RF capabilities of platforms
- Modeling the communication of radar systems by calculating one-way and two-way RF propagation loss
- Pre-mission planning
- Near-realtime, geospatial and temporal situational awareness
- After-action debriefing
- Acquisition
- Support to operations
- Surface EW test and evaluation
- Training
- Options development
- Targeting support
Operational use
- The Effectiveness of Navy Electronic Warfare Systems group used Builder to support the design, specification, and evaluation of EA-6B and AN/SLY-2 (AIEWS) EW systems from the conceptual through the design stages.
- The Fleet Information Warfare Center used Builder to assist in EW asset scheduling and allocation during Operation Desert Fox and the Kosovo campaign.
- The U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment uses Builder for mission planning and mission rehearsal.
