SEP is a tool used for defining dynamic scenarios in order to synthetically create the theatre picture necessary for simulation, and training/exercise purposes.
The scenario editing is based on a graphical user interface using object model libraries, with a mixture of graphical and textual items on a map background. SEP utilizes Raster, Vector and DTED (Level-1) map formats.
The user is able to select platform and unit templates from platform/unit template library. For each platform, default or a user-selected set of sensors will be assigned as equipment list.
SEP provides the user with path drawing and editing capabilities. The path of the platforms/platform groups/units is a combination of legs and each leg can be edited separately.
Upon completion of scenario definition, SEP plays the defined scenario. During scenario play, the platform and unit positions are updated at user defined time intervals, and messages reporting the platform positions and platform specific data are sent to the external systems.
SEP transmits messages to other systems by either utilizing a CORBA middleware and/or an SMTP interface.
