AMA develops integrated, physics-based models that connect reactor, propulsion, power-conversion, thermal-management, control, and supporting components into complete system representations. Our engineers evaluate steady-state and transient behavior during startup, shutdown, throttling, mission operations, and off-nominal events, capturing interactions that isolated component analyses can miss. Modular simulation architectures allow models to mature from rapid concept studies to detailed, test-informed tools as hardware definitions and operational data become available. These analyses support architecture selection, design optimization, test planning, performance prediction, and technical-risk reduction throughout the program lifecycle.
