From NAVSEA highlights:
“SIMSMART Inc. has successfully modeled 8 piping systems for Avondale.
These models have revealed system deficiencies which may not have been
noticed using traditional flow network calculations (spreadsheets). They
have also made obvious several system enhancements that save money
and production time while still meeting the requirements of the contract. For
example, the chilled water model was used to show that a portion of the
main had to be increased in size from 5 to 6 inches due to the unanticipated
demand that developed in this area of the ship through the detail design
process. Without this modeling capability it is entirely possible that this
shortfall in the system may have gone unnoticed until such time where fitting
the larger main into the overhead would have been impossible. This is just
one example where this exceptional tool has more than paid for itself.”

Imperative Requirement for Validated HM&E Models

Imperative Need for Electronic Classrooms & Transportable
training media CDROMS for fleet Accession and Embedded
Training
The Navy cut instructors betting on low cost PC simulation
[like they saw, in part, @ HM&E SS demos in 2001 – 2002
(next 4 slides)]
But NAVSEA reorganized in 2003, VADM LaFleur the
champion retired and the initiative died. Next few slides are
what VADM LaFleur requested, saw and wanted …all of the
necessary models would be a nearly “free” by product of a
Navy ship design process based on continuous IV&V
modeling for program management / managing the design

Technology Readiness Level (TRL) Definitions
Technology Readiness Level
Description
1. Basic Principles observed and
reported.
Lowest Level of Technology Readiness. Scientific research begins to be translated into applied research and
development. Examples might include paper studies of a technology’s basic properties.
2. Technology concept and/or
application formulated.
Invention begins. Once basic principles are observed, practical applications can be invented. Applications are
speculative and there is no proof or detailed analysis to support the assumptions. Examples are limited to
analytic studies.
3. Analytical and experimental
critical functions and/or
characteristic proof of concept.
Active research and development is initiated. This includes analytical studies and laboratory studies to
physically validate analytical predictions of separate elements of the technology. Examples include
components that are not yet integrated or representative.
4. Component and/or
breadboard validation in
laboratory environment.
Basic technological components are integrated to establish that they will work together. This is relatively “low
fidelity” compared to the eventual system. Examples include integration of “ad hoc” hardware in laboratory.
5. Component and/or
breadboard validation in relevant
environment.
Fidelity of breadboard technology increases significantly. The basic technological components are integrated
with reasonably realistic supporting elements so that it can be tested in a simulated environment. Examples
include “high fidelity” laboratory integration of components.
6. System/subsystem model or
prototype demonstration in a
relevant environment.
Representative model or prototype system, which is well beyond TRL 5, is tested in a relevant environment.
Represents a major step up in technology’s demonstrated readiness. Examples include testing a prototype in a
high fidelity laboratory environment, or in a simulated operational environment.
7. System prototype
demonstration in an operational
environment.
Prototype near, or at, planned operational system. Represents a major step up from TRL 6, requiring
demonstration of an actual system prototype in an operational environment, such as an aircraft, vehicle, or
space. Examples include testing the prototype in a test bed aircraft.
8. Actual system completed and
“flight qualified” through test and
demonstration.
Technology has been proven to work in its final form and under expected conditions. In almost all cases, TRL
represents the end of the true system development. Examples include developmental test and evaluation of
the system in its intended weapon system to determine if it meets design specifications.
9. Actual system “flight proven”
through successful mission
operations.
Actual Application of the technology in its final form and under mission conditions, such as those encountered
in operational test and evaluation. In almost all cases, this is the end of the last “bug fixing” aspects of system
development. Examples include using the system under operational mission conditions.
