The FTS modeling & simulation team, comprised of
subject matter experts in tactics, weapons, intelligence, sensors and
physical security, gives FTS a distinctive capability to develop meaningful
modeling programs for its customers. The specialization within the team
allows FTS to accurately model security system performance as well as
blue force and opposing force capabilities and tactics. Listed below
are some of the computers models used by FTS.
Joint Conflict and Tactics
Simulation (JCATS)
FTS provides the capability to use JCATS to conduct force on force modeling. FTS
provides JCATS Database Management, Installation, Networking, Terrain
Development, Weapon, Sensor System Modeling, and operator training. FTS
conducts intelligence analysis to determine the appropriate and relevant
threat for each modeling effort. FTS also has the ability to accurately
and realistically model new weapons and systems capabilities within JCATS. JCATS
can also be used to help response forces refine or redefine response
tactics. When compared with real world exercises that tie up an entire
organization, JCATS response evaluations represent a cost effective means
to improve overall security.
Analytic System and Software for Evaluating
Safeguards and Security (ASSESS)
FTS uses the ASSESS software to conduct
adversary path analysis. ASSESS provides the ability to identify the
weak link in a security system and analyze means to mitigate or eliminate
the vulnerability. ASSESS is a comprehensive tool for evaluating safeguard
effectiveness against theft of assets by many adversaries to include
the insider threat.
Hazard Prediction & Assessment
Capability (HPAC)
FTS is versed in all aspects of HPAC. HPAC simulates the
transport/dispersion of hazardous materials through the atmosphere. The
model provides "estimates" of
effects on the physical environment (e.g., surface deposition, airborne
concentration) and resultant effects of that environment on exposed population. This
analysis can be used to identify methods to reduce the effects associated
with the release of hazardous materials.
Consequence Assessment Tool Set
(CATS)
The Consequences Assessment Tool
Set (CATS) is a consequence management tool which supports emergency
managers' training, exercises, contingency planning, and logistical planning. CATS allows users to calculate
requirements for humanitarian aid and force protection. CATS integrates
hazard prediction, consequence assessment, and emergency management tools
including the Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability (HPAC) and critical
population and infrastructure data within a modern, commercial Geographical
Information System (GIS).
