A ROSETTA framework for live / synthetic aviation tradeoffs: Preliminary Report

Abstract

In this paper a Relational Oriented Systems Engineering and Technology Tradeoff Analysis (ROSETTA) framework is introduced for performing technology tradeoff and design studies with respect to the live, virtual and constructive mixes for aircrew training. This novel, efficient and model driven repeatable approach to the present and future problem of live / synthetic mixes on-board a real aircraft concentrates on relationships between elements in models to support capability based decisions. The methodology described provides a framework and factorization of a family of systems (FoS) architecture for tactical situation/mission scenario and evaluation of pilot response models. ROSETTA provides a more rigorous mathematical framework for conducting decision support and advances current model based systems engineering (MBSE) process for simulation and analysis of a complex system of systems (SoS) problem.
