ARTEMIS: A high-fidelity NTW system simulation

The Navy Theator Wide (NTW) Program is in the concept design stage. As the NTW Mission Technical Direction Agent, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) is responsible for independent evaluation of system design concepts and technical approaches. To support this capability, JHU/APL has developed an integrated end-to-end simulation. The APL Area/Theater Engagement Missile-Ship Simulation - Theater Version (,ARTEMIS-T) is built upon existing high-fidelity simulations of the NTW system components interfaced using the distributed High Level Architecture (HLA) developed by the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO). Integration of these high-fidelity component simulations allows dynamic modeling of the closed-loop interactions crucial to an overall system understanding. ARTEMIS provides a tool for use throughout the program life-cycle, from requirements definition and design verification to flight test performance prediction to evaluation of new algorithms and technologies within a complete system setting.
