integrating simulation and geographic information system
This paper presents the results of a software system which integrates geographical information systems (GIS), object oriented simulation (OOS), and multi-sensor fusion algorithms. This system allows the Navy to evaluate the performance of different multi-sensor configurations in order to identify enemy ships, friendly ships, or other entities present in the ocean. ArcGIS provides geographical information such as seabed composition, bathymetry, and proximity to the coast. The simulation system developed on AnyLogic takes the GIS data as input, and performs simulations to evaluate the impact of the geographical conditions on the ability of the sensors to identify entities in the ocean.
