Abstract

Hierarchical distributed simulation modeling of the operational enterprise is very important. This set of models, consisting of agents, system dynamics, continuous models of higher hierarchical and more abstracted levels, is connected to a number of discrete event and continuous simulations for selected operational, tactical functions. This paper discusses an environment developed in order to model the complex operations of a mission of the Heavy-Lift Vehicle (HLV) and the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) being launched from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission is modeled at a very high level using agents. Several discrete models representing different parts of the mission such as the ground operations, the launching process, and reentry are used. This enhanced system was based on lessons learned from original efforts using a centralized system. The High Level Architecture (HLA) is the backbone of these simulations.
