BlueSim

RBtools

A collection of tools used for BlueSim. RBTools itself is a simple GUI with "buttons" that activate a multitude of other tools. We are able to build these tools through use of the MATLAB MCR.

AccessTrack

A platform/sensor accessibility and loiterability tool. AccessTrack calculates the Field of Regard (FOR) sustained coverage for platform mounted sensors stationed within a selected track region.

BlueSim Viewer

A 3-d Earth visualization tool for animating BlueSim simulation scenarios.

DeckMapper

DeckMapper is a standalone BlueSim pre-processor used to visualize requirement decks.
