Geometric models are 3-D computerized representations of systems used to support a variety of end-uses, including engineering design and analysis, preparation of engineering drawings and schematics, configuration management, testing, technical and training documentation development, and feasibility/adequacy studies. SURVICE-developed geometric models are regularly used both internally and by its customers to support survivability-related studies and analyses such as vulnerability assessments, ballistic penetration analyses, radar cross section and infrared (IR) detection analysis, Sustainability Predictions for Army Spare Component Requirements for Combat (SPARC) analyses, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) studies. The level of detail required and modeled in the geometric model depends on the type of analysis being performed.
