ProCon Computer Modelling

ProCon has been responsible for the definition, design, building and use of several
powerful and versatile models representing defence systems such as :
helicopters involved in anti-submarine operations
sonar system coverage
torpedo homing tactics and manoeuvres
tracker algorithms

What are the models for and who could use them ?

Laying a Sonobuoy Pattern in ProMuS	Target Echo Structure Model in TOTEM
With such models a user can assess alternatives to answer the 'what-if' questions. What if we deploy a larger number of less capable sonobuoys ? What if the aircraft can act in full cooperation with a Towed Array ship ? What if the target evades by going fast, or by going very slowly ?
Multistatic Sonar Coverage in ProMuS	Tracker Analysis in TOTEM
A user could be a defence department looking at the requirements for future systems, a defence system manufacturer supporting a bid for a procurement contract or a research team assessing the effectiveness of different tactics

The user can control the graphics display size, speed and centre or, running without graphics, can simulate many hours in a few seconds and collect the statistics decribing the actions.

What other defence applications are there for such techniques and models ?

The development of any defence system or tactic should be supported by modelling.
It is an efficient and economic way of testing a far wider range of alternatives than
is possible with either prototypes or trials.
