Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) engineers designed and patented a new modeling and simulation tool known as “OSM” for Orchestrated Simulation through Modeling that is impacting technical programs, wargames and military exercises such as Valiant Shield. OSM is a new framework allowing scientists, warfighters, and college students to model ideas and develop wargaming scenarios seamlessly. The Modeling and Simulation Toolbox (MAST) architecture – built on the OSM framework – offers a human-in-the-loop wargaming capability that positively impacted and adjudicated live events and military exercises – including Valiant Shield and Northern Edge. “The opportunities and possibilities for analysis using OSM and MAST are unlimited,” said Mike Maldonado, NSWCDD Modeling and Simulation Branch deputy program manager. “The framework is built for speed and provides anyone with the capability to model and test an idea quickly – in minutes – to see if it’s going in the right direction.” Pictured from left: USNS Sacagawea (T-AKE 2), USS Germantown (LSD 42), USNS John Ericsson (T-AO 194), USS Antietam (CG 54), USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), USS America (LHA 6), USS Shiloh (CG 67), USS New Orleans (LPD 18), and USS Comstock (LSD 45).
