SLAMEM® (Simulation of the Locations and Attack of Mobile Enemy Missiles) is a simulation of weapon and sensor systems operating in a battlefield environment.
SLAMEM® models:
- Ground vehicles and targets
- Surveillance platforms
- Sensor payloads
- Attack aircraft
- Surface-to-surface missiles
- Road networks
- Terrain features and foliage cover
Crucially, SLAMEM® also models the communication links used to transfer data between sensors and command and control platforms. This enables realistic simulation of multi-source data fusion, sensor tasking, attack nomination, exploitation, and prosecution.
SLAMEM® was developed to analyze the performance of coordinated C4ISR and targeting systems against time-critical mobile targets. Today, SLAMEM® is used both for stand-alone analysis and as a federate in several distributed simulation exercises.
Constructive Analysis
SLAMEM® is used extensively to analyze advanced C4ISR architectures. Analysis objectives may include:
- Comparing the effectiveness of candidate C4ISR architectures
- Deriving performance requirements for prospective sensor technologies
- Developing operational concepts to exploit emerging technologies
Interactive Simulation
SLAMEM® is HLA-compliant and supports interactive real-time simulation for constructive and human-in-the-loop experimentation.
For interactive uses, SLAMEM® can be partitioned into independent federates, including:
- C4ISR Architecture Federate
- Ground Vehicle Simulation (GVS) Federate
- Attack Federate
