1 What s New in STK 11?

2 Major Enhancements for STK 11 Performance Improvements 64-bit Desktop Deck access parallelization Terrain Server Worldwide streaming terrain Available for analysis and visualization Volumetrics User-definable 3D volume grids Compute and display 3D volume calculations Phased array User-definable element configuration Beam and null steering algorithms Aviator Model effects of wind Advanced maneuver modeling EOIR Custom 3D models and materials Time-dynamic temperature profiles MODTRAN based atmospheric model Many more Free-hand drawing in 3D window Overhauled documentation and tutorials Volumetrics Phased Array Aviator EOIR

3 STK 11 Performance Improvements 64-bit Desktop No longer limited to 4 GB RAM Optimized the allocation of large buffers in the stk server communication layer Parallel coverage and deck access Upgraded compiler that provides better optimizations Several Specific Improvements: Route / orbit / trajectory graphics Timeline view Chain animation Use Cases: Large reports Large number of objects Long time periods Large external files Constellations / Chains Volumetrics Coverage

4 Terrain Server Worldwide streaming terrain Available with STK Free out-of-the-box Optimized for 3D visualization Integrated with Access and Coverage Line-of-Sight Terrain Mask Azimuth/Elevation Mask Coverage Available on private networks Combine with private terrain data Deploy as an offline product

5 Volumetrics 1) 3D Volumetric Grid 2) Spatial Calculations 3) Geographic Constraints 4) Geometric Constraints 5) External Data 5) Compute Dynamic Coverage

6 Volumetrics Examples Body Mask Analysis RF Jamming Analysis Airspace Analysis User-supplied Data

7 Phased Array General features Input number of elements and spacing Various element configurations Disable/Enable individual elements Beam and Null steering to N targets To other STK Objects From a data file From a script Adaption algorithms Min. Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) User specific weights from data file User specific weights from script

8 Volumetric Phased Array Jamming Phased Array Beam Forming Volumetric Coverage SNR Volumetric SNR + Jamming Volumetric SNR + Jamming +Nulling

9 Aviator (formerly Aircraft Mission Modeler) Ease of use 100 s of improvements (New Aircraft Catalog, Help Me Choose, etc) Wind Impacts aircraft behavior based on constant or dynamic wind conditions 3D Fuel Ruler Fuel burn calculation driven by mouse Super-Procedure Encapsulate multiple procedures in a single line Advanced Fixed Wing Tool Generate performance models Maneuver Procedures Aileron / Barrel Rolls, Loop, Relative turns, etc Airway Router Fly airways to minimize fuel based on DAFIF Area Target Search Generate a flight pattern within selected area target site Flight Line / Parallel Flight Line Generate free form raster patterns

10 EOIR Custom Models Ability to load custom 3D models as EOIR targets Installed models representing common ground vehicles, aircraft, sea vessels, and spacecraft Custom Materials Ability to load own custom materials for EOIR targets. Compatible with the freely available NASA maintained ASTER USGS material with over 2,400 spectral samples Custom Thermal Profiles Ability to create time-temperature thermal profiles manually or with thermal calculation tools such as STK SEET s passive thermal model to have their targets exhibit time-dynamic surface temperatures. MODTRAN based Atmosphere A new atmospheric option for EOIR generated from the community standard MODTRAN tool Tighter STK Integration EOIR sensor properties are now directly embedded in STK sensors to allow more natural STK functionality (automatic saving, copying, and more direct access from other 3rd party tools) Many Bug Fixes Over 30 of the highest priority bugs have ben resolved with this new release
