"Lockheed Martin, the world leader in the design of aerospace and defense technologies, selected Foresight as its corporate standard system engineering architecture analysis tool for discrete event simulation. To earn the banner of 'Lockheed Martin Preferred Tool', Foresight won the rigorous 'Ten Step' procurement process for this tool category as conducted by the Systems Engineering Subcouncil of the Lockheed Martin engineering process improvement program."

"I recently have been able to compare our Foresight model results with actual CNI hardware in the lab. The results from the lab are correlating nicely so far. The lab data correlates much better than I would have hoped, actually. I generally worry about microsecond to microsecond performance comparisons (since the model cannot be as complex as the actual system). Also, it's [very difficult to get] everything configured correctly to do a fair "apples to apples" test. Generally [the test team doesn't] have too much flexibility to set up sophisticated tests. However, we did a fairly high resolution model of our hardware (and software) components, so it tracks rather well when looking at critical latencies."
