Developing a missile simulator
summary
KDA Missile Division builds a simulator that runs actual missile operational software (NSM/JSM) inside a synchronized hybrid simulator + discrete event core, converting I/O, sleeps and messages into events so runs are reproducible. The system executes ~300 concurrent threads under cooperative multitasking on top of C++ with Python tooling, enabling deterministic discrete-event scheduler operation, Monte Carlo statistics and earlier bug detection; results cut costly flight tests (JSM program reached a 200+ km successful flight after seven test launches).
