AAW WARFIGHTING CAPABILITIES EVALUATION MODEL

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A HIGH LEVEL COMPUTERIZED EVALUATION MODEL THAT WILL PREDICT THE WARFIGHTING CAPABILITIES OF A GIVEN DEFINED ARCHITECTURE AGAINST A GIVEN THREAT WITH RESPECT TO ANTI-AIR WARFARE (AAW). THE AAW FORCE LEVEL ATTRIBUTES/DRIVERS AS DEFINED BY SPAWAR 314, AAW DIVISION OF WARFARE SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING DIRECTORATE, WILL BE ADDRESSED IN TERMS OF THE AAW MISSION SUCCESS CRITERIA AS CITED IN THE AAW TOP LEVEL WARFARE REQUIREMENT DOCUMENTS. THESE AAW FORCE ATTRIBUTES (WARFIGHTING CAPABILITIES) ARE: BATTLE SPACE; BATTLE MANAGEMENT; FIREPOWER, COUNTERMEASURES (CM)/COUNTER-COUNTERMEASURES (CCM); SUSTAINABILITY/ SURVIVABILITY; MOBILITY AND READINESS. THE EFFORT INVOLVES IDENTIFYING THE MODEL INPUTS THAT ADEQUATELY DEFINE THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE THREAT, DEFINING THE MODEL OUTPUTS THAT PROVIDE THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ATTRIBUTES, AND DEVELOPING THE PROPER RELATIONSHIPS TO ENABLE THE COMPUTATION OF THE OUTPUT VALUES FROM THE INPUT DATA. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT CURVES, OBTAINED FROM THE MORE DETAILED MODELS, WILL BE EMPLOYED AND DATA VALUES WILL BE DETERMINED THROUGH INTERPOLATIO/EXTRAPOLATION AS NECESSARY. THE EFFORT INCLUDES DEVELOPING A COMPUTERIZED MODEL THAT WILL BE USER FRIENDLY.
