To develop simulation inputs from virtual target models to support visual, predictive radar frequency and predictive infrared spectrum simulations; to conduct verification and validation of virtual targets; to support development of high-fidelity Computer Aided Design (CAD) models for specific customer funded requirements; to maintain and distribute virtual targets through the Army Model Exchange (AME).
DESCRIPTION:
The Virtual Target Center provides a wide array of support to the modeling and simulation community for test and evaluation and for training. The Virtual Targets project provides four supporting modeling and simulation components:
The Targets Generation Laboratory develops simulation inputs to support visualization, radar frequency and infrared simulations. The Target Generation Laboratory also addresses emerging simulation technologies to maintain model products suitable for simulation input both today and in the future.
The model verification and validation process was developed by the Virtual Targets Center staff and approved by the Army Threat Validation Committee. Models are reviewed by this process to ensure that the model is properly constructed in accordance with (IAW) AR 5-11 and properly validated as threat representative IAW AR 73-1.
The Virtual Targets project develops high-fidelity CAD models of field equipment for use throughout the Army and Department of Defense.
The Army Model Exchange provides a distribution point for simulation target models and Synthetic Environment (SE) Core Common Moving Models to support T&E and training, modeling and simulation requirements. It is located at https://modelexchange.army.mil/.
