IntroductionThe aircraft carrier, with its embarked air wing, is a key strategic national asset and the preeminent force projection weapon system of the 21st century.
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) initially used by PEO Carriers and NAVAIR to drive the ship design and attain Sortie Generation Rate (SGR) Key Performance Parameter (KPP).
Subsequent spirals are meant to expand and refine model fidelity into a federation of applications that will supplement Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) and possibly provide life cycle support.
The interval between ship delivery and first deployment, particularly of a first-in-class warship, is packed with system verifications, certifications, tests, and training.
If successful, the Virtual Carrier (VCVN) effort will save tens of millions of dollars and precious time between delivery of CVN 78 and its first deployment.

CVN 78 SGR IOT&E (OPEVAL)• CVN 78 will be evaluated as a platform to support the SGR KPP • Conduct a flight operations exercise in conjunction with a Joint Task Force Exercise
(JTFEX) to maximize asset utilization using approved Design Reference Mission (DRM) air plans.
• The test will be conducted under existing environmental operational conditions– strive to achieve as much realism as possible – Launch and land aircraft of the 2015 CVW as defined in the DRM.
• Eight selected days of the DRM air plan – the most demanding scenario for CVN 78 to demonstrate the capability to
achieve the SGR requirements– CVN 78 flight deck operations include aircraft maintenance requirements,
spotting, refueling and rearming all aircraft of the 2015 CVW.

Design Reference Mission (DRM)
• The DRM air plan is based on the operational context from Major Combat Operation (MCO) scenarios
• Seabase defense• Gain and maintain air superiority• Deny achievement of threat intentions
• Air plan structured to determine what SGR can be achieved given design
• Nine events comprised by five 1+30 and four 1+15 cycles
• USN CONOPS against formidable MCO threat• Smart weapons• Maximize USN survivability

CVN 78 Sortie GenerationSortie Generation Rate (SGR) is a KPP • 30-day Sustained Ops:
– 26, 12-hour flying days– 4 non-flying days
• 4-day Surge Ops: – 24-hour flying days
• DRM was meant to stress the ship design– Aircraft type / model / series– Fuel usage– Ordnance movement and use
Sortie = “Combat equivalent aircraft sortie” refers to any strike, strike support and or battle space dominance mission that originates and terminates on the CVN 78 deck. Includes fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

SGR Attributes
• Weapon Expenditure Rates– Air-to-Air– Air-to-Ground– HARM / Chaff / Flares
• Underway Replenishment– Major periodic replenishment of ammunition and fuel
– Mini-replenishments after extended operations between major UNREPS

M&S Augments IOT&E
• Title 10, Subtitle A, Part I, Chapter 4, Sec 139 a) 2. (A) (i): the field test, under realistic combat conditions, of any item of (or key component of) weapons, equipment, or munitions for the purpose of determining the effectiveness and suitability of the weapons, equipment, or munitions for use in combat by typical military users.
• Title 10, Subtitle A, Part IV, Chapter 141, Sec. 2399 (e) (2) (h) (1): The term ``operational test and evaluation'' has the meaning given that term in section 139(a)(2)(A) of this title. For purposes of subsection (a), that term does not include an operational assessment based exclusively on-- (A) computer modeling; (B) simulation; or (C) an analysis of system requirements, engineering proposals, design specifications, or any other information contained in program documents.

M&S Uses in Operational Testing
• M&S may be used to:– Supplement operational effectiveness and operational suitability tests;
– Aid in the assessment of specific effectiveness and suitability Critical Operational Issues (COI)
– Assess risk to the program and successful completion of OPEVAL
– Aid in the assessment of interoperability
– Increase operational relevance of DT
– Inject scenario stimuli to evaluate system performance in a threat environment using scenarios not easily replicated in a T&E environment.

VCVN Strategy
• PEO Carriers’ directed a study to determine a SGR methodology to support IOT&E– COTF / CNAF / CSFTGL / CAN / DOT&E involvement
• Results indicate that the volume of data required for the SGR assessment could be obtained during a modified Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX or C2X)– Sufficient for statistical significance
• Cost savings of ~$200M
• Perform six sustained and two surge days at DRM air plan density – Comparison of overall results as well as individual events, sorties, and
tasks will support the V&V process – As necessary, model corrections will be made and additional runs for
score conducted – Correlation of live test results and Federation runs will provide the basis
for final accreditation of the VCVN

M&S Strategy Ratified in the CVN 21 TEMP
• The SGR KPP is a measure of the CVN 78’s ability to employ the embarked the CVW.
• SGR will be represented by executing a DRM in a M&S environment called the Virtual Carrier (VCVN).
• “The VCVN shall represent, in an M&S environment, the aviation operations functions, processes, organizations, systems, elements and components of the CVN 78 class that must interact to successfully achieve required sortie generation capabilities of the Air Wing to accomplish assigned missions.”

Finding Balance with DoE
• Better way to test complex systems– Yields better process understanding– Faster planning and analysis– Uses 20-80% of usual runs / tests / resources– Better depth and breadth of testing– Challenges assumptions– Demonstrates real performance
20
AVW Technologies, Inc
Advantages of VCVN• Full DRM execution at IOT&E
– 30 Continuous Days (Sustained DRM)– 1 No-Fly Day– 4 Continuous Days (Surge DRM)– $200+ Million (NAVAIR estimate)
• DoE shaped IOT&E– 6 Days of Sustained DRM Execution– 2 Days of Surge DRM Execution– Save ~98% of cost (less VCVN development cost)– Fly ~20% of the DRM
• Mitigates safety concerns• Reduces aircraft wear
21
AVW Technologies, Inc
VCVN Challenges
• Long-term support– VV&A for IOT&E– Model development and sustainment
• HLA development– Model fidelity– Federate Integration
• Requirements Development– Refine requirements
• Models are expected to continue to be re-verified, refined, revalidated, and accredited for appropriate follow-on use based on the application/ correlation of live test results with model predictions
– Increased functionality
