PITTSBURGH, Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- To engineer the U.S.
military's next-generation missile defense system, Analytical
Graphics, Inc. (AGI) and ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) are
incorporating high-fidelity, multiphysics simulations with
multi-domain mission-level modeling into early stages of missile
defense system development — effectively enabling warfighters to
combat high-speed, highly maneuverable hypersonic weapons.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has made
counter-hypersonics a priority. To rapidly find, track and
eliminate these threats, systems for missile defense and their
related command and control infrastructure must be upgraded and
fully interconnected. High-fidelity, multiphysics engineering
simulation is needed early in the design cycle to conduct critical
architectural and mission analysis.
To satisfy this urgent national security need, AGI has embedded
ANSYS' high-fidelity, physics-based component models within its own
expansive, multi-domain mission-level modeling. Providing an
integrated system across key engineering and mission analyses will
eliminate problematic engineering bottlenecks. Physics-based
solvers expedite missile defense system development by more
accurately predicting communication blackouts, forecasting vehicle
trajectory and altitude control, calculating thermal field effects
on antenna performance, and analyzing other scenarios.
"Historically, system development has been compartmentalized,
with components developed within black box silos.
Counter-hypersonics requires the connection of these black box
systems at design inception," said Kevin
Flood, vice president of engineering at AGI. "AGI and ANSYS
look forward to interconnecting these systems, incorporating a high
level of engineering fidelity into their architecture analysis and
mission analysis."
"Engineering and modeling highly complex and integrated missile
defense systems presents tremendous challenges," said Joseph Cole, Vice President, Federal, Aerospace
and Defense at ANSYS. "AGI and ANSYS are helping both our DoD
agency customers and their prime contractors address these
challenges by incorporating ANSYS' detailed multiphysics
simulations within multi-domain mission models. With this
partnership the same high-fidelity physics models that our
customers use to reduce design time, enhance reliability and
streamline maintenance operations can now be leveraged to increase
the accuracy of mission level modeling and simulations as
well."
AGI and ANSYS will discuss their ability to incorporate
high-fidelity, multiphysics engineering simulation into
mission-level modeling at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium
in Huntsville, Ala. A similar
demonstration will be featured in an Aug.
21 webinar.
