Military Tracking-Target systems are important analysis tools for modelling the major functions of a strategic defense system operating against a ballistic missile threat during a simulated end-to-end scenario. As demands grow for modelling more trajectories with increasing numbers of missile types, so have demands for more processing power. Argonne National Laboratory has developed the parallel version of this Tracking-Target model. The parallel version has exhibited speedups of up to a factor of 6.3 resulting from a shared memory multiprocessor machine. This paper documents a project to implement the Tracking-Target model on a parallel processing environment.
