Eagle View: A Simulation Tool for Wing Operations

This paper highlights a project performed by TASC for Armstrong Laboratories, Wright-Patterson AFB. This project describes a simulation tool to help wing-level planners at an Air Force Base with analysis of operations and assist in their decision making process. The tool, named Eagle View, gives planners an “eagle-eye” view of the base and, at any time, allows a projection simulation from the current state to be run, gaining insight into the future outcomes. For example, projection simulations can be used to evaluate various plans, manpower schedules, or possible contingencies and their effects. The simulation is created with IMDE, an objectoriented simulation package developed by TASC. A demonstration prototype has been built; its construction has been detailed, and a sample scenario where the Eagle View prototype is used is presented. Future enhancements of the Eagle View model are then discussed.
