Modeling and Simulation Software Screenshot

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is one of ARA's core competencies. This focus includes:

First Principles Simulation
M&S for Decision Support
M&S Support Technologies
M&S Applications

Our M&S capabilities include developing mathematically rigorous solutions that satisfy fundamental principles of mass, momentum, and energy conservation, fast-running engineering-level and empirically-derived models, and hardware-in-the-loop systems. We develop general-purpose simulations and focused decision support and simulation tools used in theater and in operational support cells. We complement our custom M&S with an expansive suite of GOTS and COTS capabilities that we apply to a broad range of problems.
