Abstract
The United States government has leveraged commercial space partnerships in recent years to enhance national security capabilities. However, the emergence of co-orbital anti-satellite (ASAT) capabilities by adversaries presents a unique threat to commercial spacecraft supporting national missions. Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) presents itself as a valuable tool to derive requirements, develop tactics, and assess co-orbital engagement scenarios. A Simulink model was developed in a previous thesis to provide a physics-based tool for simulating co-orbital engagement between an aggressor and target spacecraft. To bridge the gap between the physics and descriptive models, the Simulink model has previously been integrated into Cameo Systems Modeler (CSM) to create an executable model. However, several shortcomings of using CSM as the MBSE tool of choice were identified, to include compatibility issues with MATLAB value properties and limited CSM GUI capabilities. This thesis sought to eliminate these deficiencies by integrating the Simulink models into System Composer to produce a model within a single software environment. The resulting executable system architecture successfully overcame the limitations of the CSM/Simulink model. Additionally, the new model provides higher-fidelity simulation capability, a simplified execution GUI, and improved analysis functionality.
