Building A SMP2-based Operational Effectiveness Simulation Model Framework for UAV Systems

Operational effectiveness assessment is one of the most important warrants for UAV Systems demonstration and design, and simulation is a key method. Operational effectiveness simulation relies on large quantity of simulation applications, and composable modeling is an approach to support rapid development of simulation applications. Currently, it is more effective for composable modeling to proceed with simulation models libraries based on a standard simulation modeling specification and constrained by a uniform simulation model framework. However, present model frameworks own weak extensibility for lacking of standard model specifications and explicit platform independent descriptions. SMP2 is a simulation model specification and it utilizes catalogues in XML format to describe model frameworks. Ontology focuses on the representation of knowledge and facts, and it is very adaptive to collect and describe domain knowledge of UAV systems. So in this paper, an ontology model is designed by referring to current UAV systems related simulation systems and environments. And then a SMP2 based effectiveness simulation model framework for UAV systems is built by transforming from the ontology model.
