Interim Report on S3D/LEAPS Integration

Abstract

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division has created the Leading Edge Architecture for Prototyping Systems, or LEAPS, as the data repository for ship design, and a significant number of the early-stage ship design tools interface directly or through a translator with LEAPS. Separately, the Office of Naval Research has funded Smart Ship Systems Design (S3D), a ship design tool effort that expands the Navy’s toolkit to include simulation and distributed system design among other capabilities. The current project will integrate S3D with LEAPS. This report provides an interim status report on progress for the integration project. The project plan and use case are described, underlying terms are defined and correlated between the two databases, and the initial version of the translator code is described.
