Thunder
  • written in SimScript from CACI (<= ancestor of ModSim <= IMPORT)
  • translate SimScript -> Parallel IMPORT -> SPEEDES?
  • Data classified - hence ARL MSRC more attractive than ASC
  • Follow-on system STORM (part of JWARS? Links with JSIMS/JMASS)
SIMAF
  • advanced ($10M worth) virtual cockpit env (2 Onyx engines, lots of advanced 3D software: Multigen, Vega, etc.), not much M&S software
  • classified customers; seeks new techs/partners towards SBA
