SimMetrics

SimMetrics SimMetrics

SimMetrics (formerly known as AGI SMART) is a desktop application that helps increase the fidelity of distributed simulations by adding real-time analysis to battlefield simulations through DIS and HLA protocols. SimMetrics makes simulations more representative of the real world by modeling critical assets that are often overlooked in simulations.

Specifically, SimMetrics helps users understand how electronic interference, position, terrain and time of day affect the navigational accuracy of autonomous vehicles by modeling GPS satellites and receivers and calculating navigational accuracy and dilution of precision. It also helps users understand what a sensor can see and for how long by modeling sensor cameras. This brings a live picture of exactly what is in view of the camera while keeping track of the coverage and time over the area of interest.

Through these models, real-time navigation and sensor analysis is constantly provided to the simulation in real-time. This analysis drives human and computer decision making throughout the simulation. It also helps users understand the impact of decisions made in a virtual environment. By using SimMetrics models and analysis, simulation fidelity is vastly improved, leading to better, more educated, decisions.

SimMetrics consists of an analysis server and an associated 3D visualization client. The server is developed by AGI and is based off of AGI Components and VT MÄK's VR-Link software. The 3D visualization client is developed by VT MÄK and is built off of their VR-Vantage XR. It provides both 3D and graphical representations of the analysis from the server out of the box.

  • Key Features

  • Navigation Accuracy

    Accurately propagates the GPS constellation using a variety of data formats and a configurable receiver to compute the navigational accuracy of simulated entities. It continuously calculates and provides the following data:

    • Dilution of Precision (DOP)
    • Navigational accuracy
    • Predicted position

    Blue Force Tracking

    The SimMetrics server provides tracking information for any GPS device placed on any existing entity. This tracking information provides positional information reported by the GPS device which factors in error from terrain, Earth position and time of day. This data can then be used directly in a PVD or Stealth to provide entity location, or it can be converted into spot reports, which can be injected into various components of the simulation.

    Sensor/Camera Modeling

    • Rectangular, complex conic, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
    • Interact with terrain
    • Simulate boresight views
    • Compute access
    • Live view of camera vision
    • Fog of war
    • Sensor persistence

    Data Logging

    SimMetrics uses open industry standards to publish all analysis, so a protocol logger can be used to record and playback the whole simulation, including SimMetrics analysis, with no special configuration. SimMetrics also logs the simulation as an STK scenario so that further offline analysis can be done through STK if needed.

Try AGI's Public ADF Server
  1. Obtain temporary permission to write to AGI's ADF server by requesting a guest account.
  2. Step by Step ADF Tutorial

See the ADF Administrators Guide for specific information about configuring an ADF Server.

Follow instructions below to request a 90 day evaluation license and the ADF Server Installation download link.

AGI Data Federate requires the use of a FlexNET License Server to host your license.

Obtain the Host ID and the Hostname or IP Address:

  • Start All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt. Right-click to 'Run as administrator'.
  • At the prompt, enter ipconfig /all
  • Under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection, note:
    • Physical Address (Host id)
    • IPv4 Address (IP Address)
  • Send this to AGI Support (moc.iga@troppus), with the subject line "Request for ADF Licenses."

You will receive an e-mail containing

  1. ADF Server Installation download link
  2. Detailed instructions for installing the License Server.
  3. Users are provided two *.lic files; a server license file installed on the FlexNET License Server and a client license, installed during the AGI Data Federate Server installation.
