Raytheon Selects OPNET for Distributed Simulation
Raytheon is a leader in the design, integration, test and fielding
of tactical communications systems for defense and government
organizations. Modeling and simulation is a cornerstone of the
engineering process and methodology. Raytheon leverages OPNET
solutions for its large-scale distributed simulations.
OPNET’s High-Level Architecture (HLA) module plugs directly
into OPNET Modeler to provide co-simulation capability with other
federates. Raytheon uses this for extensive Hardware-in-the-Loop
studies and to integrate with other complementary simulation
tools. OPNET software also plays a key role in the following
R&D initiatives:
- Porting of detailed communications and networking protocols
code from models into operational hardware
- Performance analysis of large-scale wireless, tactical networks
- Evaluation of communications and network architecture alternatives
for risk management
