BOOM Code Guidance Navigation and Control Modeling: The contractor shall upgrade BOOM/Prodas V3 code on existing and/or new Army Research Laboratory (ARL) PC-based computers and networks. The contractor shall extend the development of analysis tools in the form of PC-based computer codes and software for design and analysis of the launch and flight dynamics of weapon system components. The codes and software may be in stand-alone form but most likely will be in the form of modules to integrate into exist ing analysis tools or replace existing modules. The suite of upgrades could include modules for improved trajectory simulation, unmanned aerial vehicles, sensor models and errors, guided and unguided sub-munition modeling and maneuvering targets. 2. Flight Dynamics Analysis Tool Development (PRODAS GN&C (Guidance Navigation & Control) ProtoType Tool ): The contractor shall extend the development of analysis tools in the form of PC-based computer codes and software for design and analysis of the l aunch and flight dynamics of weapon system components (Projectile Design and Analysis System PRODAS ) . The contractor shall produce codes and software in stand-alone form or in the form of modules to integrate into the Prodas GN&C Prototype Tool and Gra phical User Interface (GUI). The contractor shall subcontract with ArrowTech Inc to generate the technical input to the modules. a. The contractor shall enable 6DOF (Six Degrees of Freedom) initialization by discrete state variable entry. b. Develop and build in multiple flyout capability. c. Develop a proximity fuze control element, a radar element, transceiver element. d. User defined control modeling system element. e. Insert Air Breathing Propulsion Module. f. Validate extractor data with virtual flyout of a DFUZE (name for particular Sensor System hardware) and the high alpha upgrades with test cases upon approval from the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). g. Upgrade the element library in the Flight Control System (FCS) builder of the PRODAS V3/Boom GUI. h. Implement user extensable architecture. i. Develop a roadmap for future improvements to the ARL Prediction Suite. j. Develop a EAPS (Extented Area Protection System) Simulation projectile capability in Prodas V3/Boom 3. BOOM Code Integration into High Performance Computing: The contractor shall integrate BOOM Code into the ARL Computational Fluid Dynamics Codes for Multi-Disciplina ry Design of Munitions, provided as Government Furnished Property at contract award. 4. Projectile Guidance Analysis: The contractor shall perform analytical research studies into novel guidance, navigation and control schemes for projectiles. The contractor shall provide input to ARL researchers in this area. a. The Contractor shall optimize guidance and control schemes for initialization of gun launched sensor systems and sparsely populated inertial sensor system.
