EMISSION STRATEGIES AND OPERATIONS IN MODERN NAVAL COMBAT SYSTEMS

EMISSION CONTROL (EMCON), INCLUDING RADAR EMISSION MANAGEMENT, IS A SUBDIVISON OF THE MUCH GREATER SUBJECT OF BATTLE MANAGEMENT. AT PRESENT, THERE IS NOT A FULL DEVELOP AND NAVY ACCEPTED TECHNIQUE FOR EXAMINING THE ENTIRE TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL SEA BATITLES. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON A VALUABLE SUBSET OF BATTLE STRATEGY, THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION CONTROL AND SFLEET OPERATION. THE TECHNICAL APPROACH IS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF EMCON STRATEGIES WITHIN GENERALLY ACCEPTED SCENERIOS BY DEFINING AND APPLYING VARIOUS OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS FOR BOTH SIDES IN THE CONFLICT. PROBABILISTIC UNCERTAINTIES AND RISKS WILL BE DETERMINED, USING STOCHASTIC COMPUTATION CONTROL STRATEGIES WILL BE SELECTED ON THE BASIS OF GAME-THEORETIC PAYOFF MATRICES, CONNSTRUCTED FROM GAIN AND LOSS MATRICES REFLECTING VARIOUS OUTCOMES OF THE OPERATIONAL CONCEPT.
