  • Abstract:
    Modeling and simulation is often used to study ; the physical world when observation may not be ; practical. The overall goal of a recent and ongoing ; simulation tool project has been to provide a ; documented, lifecycle-managed, multi-processor ; capable, stochastic simulation capability enabling ; analysis of procedures and equipment for aircraft ; flight in the national airspace system (NAS). The ; tool is a Monte Carlo-based computer simulation ; program that contains the stochastic models of most ; components of the NAS, including navigation aids, ; surveillance systems, pilots, aircraft, air traffic ; controllers, and weather. It is also combined with ; discrete artifacts such as FAA database-supplied ; runway sizes and configurations, and obstacles. In ; addition, the tool possesses a fast-time airframetype- ; specific kinematic aircraft model, a highperformance ; random number generator, a precise ; WGS-84-compliant elliptical earth model, and a ; graphical user interface integrating worldwide ; photo-realistic airport depictions and real-time ; three-dimensional animation. ; This paper presents an overview of the ; software tool and its formulation, including ; programming languages, environments, and other ; development tools; selection, design, and ; implementation of the mathematical models; and ; reviews the verification and validation processes.
