Simulation

As the simulation model expanded, the USAF now needed a way to document the risk levels of the platform.  Focus was then given to augment the system to assist the various teams in documenting the operability of the systems.  The military mandated that each weapon system and component on the platform follow the Authorization To Operate (ATO) process.  This process required that vulnerabilities be identified, mitigation plans documented, and test results published for each component of the platform.  This required thousands of man hours to initially document and also maintain as changes were incorporated.
