Digital Mission Engineering

The latest releases of STK and ODTK advance the extraordinary promise of digital mission engineering. The new features included in this release are designed to enable aerospace and defense organizations to digitally transform the entire product life cycle: design, analysis, and operations.

  • Large Constellation Improvement
    As the commercial space segment continues to grow and the deployment of so-called "mega-constellations" looms, the need for modeling and simulation of space assets is more urgent than ever. With STK 2022 R2, you can include the Satellite Collection object within chained calculations, to better analyze and understand complex routing options for connecting ground-based assets.
  • RF Interference at Receiver Object
    Designing and analyzing communications systems is complicated by the increasing congestion of the RF spectrum, making simulation of these systems and the RF environment essential. With STK 2022 R2, you can analyze the effects of a crowded RF environment on an individual receiver, making it quicker and easier to characterize interference and develop mitigation strategies.
  • EOIR Improvements
    STK 2022 R2 improves the modeling capability for EOIR sensor simulations by providing enhanced central body property maps with overlapping texture maps. It enables you to model temperature, emissivity, and reflectance at higher fidelity. Adding the ability to model ground vehicles and ships in EOIR generates sensor-to-target metrics that incorporate these objects.
  • ODTK: 3D Moving Targets, Spice File Attitude, and CentralBody Gravity Estimate
    ODTK 2022 R2 provides an introductory capability to estimate the trajectory of moving vehicles in a non-orbital environment on or near the surface of Earth (or another planetary body). It improves small-body mission planning and operations, and we've added native support of SPICE formatted attitude files for spacecraft attitude.
