Summary • Modern ship design features multiple system interfaces and coupled physical interactions. • Simulation is well placed to reduce design risks, but traditionally too costly. • So we use simulation standards to allow plug-and-play and re-usability of simulation components. • The Virtual Ship STANAG and repository is born. • As the Virtual Ship Repository grows, the scope for building ever more complex federations increases, while their cost for construction decreases.
