Research on T&E of UUV virtual test models

Abstract

Virtual test (VT) is broadly used in great systems which feature high-complexity and high-cost. Whether VT data can be accepted is determined by credibility of the models. The main approach of credibility check is test and evaluation (T&E), which is validating the consistency of models with animated entities via specific criteria. The underwater unmanned vehicle (UUV) virtual test is introduced as an example to expatiate on microcosmic and macroscopical features and predict the trend of T&E. It's concluded that, based on scientific framework and multiple-sources pre-test information weighed fusion, in presence of small-size samples, the specific T&E solutions for virtual test models will be significant issue of T&E.
