Innovative Techniques for Missile Defense: HALO II Plus Midcourse Track Simulator

A significant problem in the development of future missile defense architectures is the lack of a comprehensive multi-sensor tracking tool that enables rapid assessment of sensor combinations in the prediction of endgame intercept conditions. The SIMTAS Multi-Sensor Midcourse Model (MSMM) has the promise of overcoming this difficulty and enabling rapid, cost effective analysis of various missile defense sensor architecture combinations. The development of MSMM will allow for the inclusion of aircraft platforms with overhead sensors and ground-based radars that can effectively simulate multi-sensor missile architecture midcourse track performance.
