GRINDSTONE – Effect Simulation Software
GRINDSTONE is a unique software used to simulate, analyze, and assess the effectiveness of one or more weapon systems. With GRINDSTONE, the user can simulate effect on a target with unparalleled accuracy. Every factor in the kill chain, from air resistance, gravity and weather to type of target, is taken into account, to ensure maximum effect.
You get access to unique expertise on our weapon systems and ammunitions. Information gathered over years of innovative development work, thousands of live firings, and numerous of advanced calculations. The software gives you knowledge that would otherwise require a large number of advanced live firings and mathematical calculations – and thereby save both time and money.
GRINDSTONE contains unique interactive 3D-models of warheads and targets with high resolution and high level of details - which gives the user a clear picture of the weapon systems effect.
The effect simulation software GRINDSTONE from BAE Systems Bofors is a smooth, confident, and cost-efficient way to sharpen your weapon systems and get the best possible effect on every target. Today and tomorrow.
GRINDSTONE simulates the entire kill chain, from detected targets down to the effect in a specific component in a 3D model. A wide range of parameters can be configured to match your system, your target of choice and preferred scenario.
GRINDSTONE isn’t just a software for system optimization – it’s also a powerful tool when it comes to training officers and specialists. Compare how different types of ammunition behave against different targets in various scenarios. Factors that can affect both choice of tactics and strategy.
