Successes & Accolades

SMARTset

SMARTset is an advanced IAMD Modeling and Simulation software tool that provides “all-domain” Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Operational Analysis capabilities. SMARTset provides a common operating picture for defense and intelligence organizations and is designed to help analysts and decision-makers to quickly process large amounts of data from various sources, including sensors, satellites, and other intelligence-gathering platforms. The software combines data from multiple sources and presents it in a user-friendly, customizable interface that allows users to filter, visualize, and analyze the information to gain insights and make informed decisions.

SMARTset Components:

​

  • SMARTplan – An Air and Missile Defense Planner that defines defended areas and assets, Enemy Areas and Launch Areas, Weapon Systems definitions with kinetic and non-kinetic effectors and placements. It supports Sensor(s) placement (Field-of-View, Sector Definition) and performs combined effectiveness Measures of Performance. Creates High-Fidelity Threats for modeling a Defense Scenario including TBMs (Trajectory types of min energy, Thrust-Terminated, Splurge, Lofted, Depressed, and MaRV), Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs), Cruise missiles, Air Breathing Threats, & all classes of Drones. â€‹

​

  • SMARTsim – Quick Look Simulation which runs approximately 100x real-time. Provides “Best-Case” Analysis for a Scenario.

​

  • SMARTsim High Level Architecture (HLA) – Detail High-Fidelity simulation environment that can operate in a distributed or co-located environment. Includes a Software Development Tool-Kit (SDK) for the creation of additional Federated Models.

​

  • SMARTanalytics – Provides tools for users and developers to perform in-depth analysis of SMARTset and SMARTset HLA simulation runs and experiments. These tools are used in the U.S. GMD and THAAD programs.

SMARTset’s ability to simulate complex scenarios makes it an ideal platform for testing new technologies and countermeasures against HGVs. This includes:

​

  • Directed Energy Weapons: Laser or microwave-based systems designed to neutralize incoming missiles or HGVs before they reach their targets.

  • Advanced Radar Systems: The development of new radar and sensor systems capable of detecting and tracking hypersonic threats.

  • Next-Gen Interceptors: New hypersonic interceptors designed to target and neutralize HGVs could be tested in SMARTset simulations, providing feedback on their effectiveness before they are deployed.​

SMARTset can simulate how counter-HGV tactics would affect overall IAMD strategies. For example:

​

  • Engagement Timing: Determining the optimal time to launch interceptors against an HGV, balancing the need to conserve resources and achieve a successful intercept.

​

  • Geographic Considerations: Modeling how defense systems positioned around key U.S. locations (e.g., bases, missile defense stations) would respond to incoming HGVs, considering factors like missile launch points, HGV flight paths, and defense system ranges.

Using SMARTset with our proprietary HGV propagation modeling provides significant advantages in preparing for and defending against hypersonic threats. The tool’s ability to simulate realistic flight paths, evaluate defense system performance, assess interception probabilities, and train personnel under realistic conditions would make it an invaluable resource for military planners and decision-makers. As HGVs continue to evolve and pose new challenges to missile defense, SMARTset will be critical for ensuring that defense systems are ready to handle these advanced threats effectively.

Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD)

IroquoiSystems is the author of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Post Processing Utility Suite for GMD Ground Tests and Flight Tests. This Software Suite utilizes the Iroquois DataCore->DataHandler concept and is state-of-the-art in Ballistic Missile Defense Post Processing Data Analysis. The GMD Post Processing Utility Suite is required to quickly and robustly handle large amounts of binary and ASCII, MDA, and BMDS simulation, ground test, and flight test data in its original form (e.g. VMF, TADIL-J(Link16), XML).

Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)

IroquoiSystems is the creator of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Post Processing Utility Suite for the THAAD High-Fidelity End-To-End Simulation (ETESIM). This Post Processing Tool Suite began fielding in 1999 and is still in use today.  By utilizing Iroquois Data processing techniques, this tool suite allows for simple XML configuration file changes to handle new and modified THAAD ETESIM messages without recompilation of the Software.
