Abstract
An integrated evaluation and simulation system for advanced naval gun systems interactively evaluates concept design decisions and design requirements in the context of a virtual representation of an operational advanced naval gun system. The combat effectiveness of an advanced naval gun system may also be concurrently tested by virtual simulation. A computer system is programmed to implement a causal network model comprising an integrated collection of analysis models for creating a virtual representation of an advanced naval gun system. The integrated evaluation and simulation system also includes a user interface operatively connected to at least the computer system, for selectively inputting data into the causal network model and receiving information therefrom, and preferably at least one virtual simulation system. The virtual simulation system may be operatively connected to the causal network model either directly as part of the computer system or indirectly through a virtual simulation system interface.
