InteShip: Holistic Surface Platform Performance Modelling

Description

Naval ships are highly integrated systems required to perform a wide variety of missions which often place conflicting requirements on the design. When developing a new design, it is important to understand the design space and to be able to make trade-offs between different performance metrics. This presentation discusses InteShip, a holistic platform performance modelling tool being developed by DSTG. InteShip provides a flexible and modular models of naval ships, to support evidenced based decision making for naval shipbuilding projects.
