Team 4: Evaluation of electro-optical sensor systems in network centric operations using ABSEM 0.3

Abstract

The development of the agent-based sensor and effector model ABSEM was started in 2008 by EADS on behalf of the German Federal Office of Defence Technology and Procurement. Since then it has been continuously enhanced and at IDFW19 version 0.3 was released. The model concentrates on modeling complex technical aspects in NCO and to do so, it integrates detailed physical theories when it comes to simulating the output of various sensors and when determining the effect of different weapon systems. The new model version is characterized by more sophisticated effector modeling and extended possibilities regarding the setup of the agents' behavior. Furthermore it contains a first radar model implementation.
