Network Vulnerability to Electronic Attack 2.5

The Network Vulnerability to Electronic Attack (NVEA) is a tool that models the electronic threats to modern data links which are an essential component to modern net-centric warfare (NCW). NVEA models the communications component of the electronic order of battle (EOB). NVEA is a core library of modeling constructs and analytical functions that will be used in several applications. Warfare analysts and system engineers will use NVEA to realistically model the effect of jamming on mission performance. Mission planners will use NVEA to determine staging areas, ISR Placement, attack routes, and tactics to minimize the effect of enemy communications jamming. In the initial phase of the program, Mikros and NAWCWD will design, develop and test: • reusable NVEA Core Library Software which can be used to provide NVEA core functionality to various external applications; • a standalone application which uses the NVEA Core Library and a Falconview (v3.3) based operator interface to provide model development, scenario definition and simulation capabilities in a standard Wintel PC environment.
