AGI STK / Keysight Technologies Networks Interface

Bringing High-Fidelity Advanced Network Modeling to the Mission

Keysight Technologies provides network design, modeling and analysis tools, cyber training systems, and engineering support. EXata/QualNet network simulation platforms extend virtual network models to include complex mobility of nodes in 3D space and high-fidelity modeling of radio signal propagation and path loss due to antenna orientation and movement. The EXata/QualNet interface for STK (Systems Tool Kit) combines network performance evaluation with the dynamic platform models, wireless link calculations, and mission visualization environment of STK to better analyze how network performance impacts the mission. 

With the Systems Tool Kit (STK) / Keysight Technologies Interface, users are able to directly integrate their STK scenarios with Keysight Technologies modeling tools to rapidly understand a proposed network’s anticipated performance and feasibility within STK’s highly realistic mission scenarios. Extending STK’s complex physical modeling to include Keysight’s packet-level analysis of a network’s behavior, mission systems designers can realize a deeper understanding of how interconnected, dynamic systems perform and work together to provide network resiliency and achieve mission success.

STK Addresses Dynamic Analysis Problems Such As:

  • Where are assets and how are they oriented?

  • What can the assets see and when can they see them?

ntegrating STK with the QualNet or EXata network simulation platforms extends virtual network models to include:

  • Complex mobility of nodes in 3D space

  • High-fidelity modeling of radio signal propagation and path loss due to antenna orientation and movement

Keysight + AGI Integration Offers:

  • Better prediction of performance in the operational environment by establishing highly realistic mission scenarios

  • Increased confidence and productivity during conceptual design, requirements validation, field test planning and analysis, and operations

  • Tailored design and operations of the communication system specific to the needs of each mission

  • Improved levels of fidelity in the analysis of mobile communications
