Concurrent Multi-Target Tracking

Simulation89 is an emulation of various SDI tasks (tracking, engagement management and ‘look ahead’) developed for the U. S. Air Force. The simulation presently deals with the boost, post-boost and early midcourse phases of a ’mass raid’ scenario, and is designed to process scenarios with a few thousand targets. The simulation is run on the Mark-III hypercube, with individual tasks performed on subcubes of the full hypercube. In general, the computations within individual subcubes are done in a synchronous manner (i.e., CrOS), while communications between tasks/subcubes are done asynchronously.
