CM SYSTEMS WHICH ARE MULTI-SPECTRAL IN NATURE ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO PROTECT ARMY AIRCRAFT IN ADVANCED SCENARIOS DUE TO THE INCREASED SOPHISTICATION AND UTILIZATION OF THE TOTAL SPECTRUM BY ENEMY AIR DEFENSE NETWORKS.

CM SYSTEMS WHICH ARE MULTI-SPECTRAL IN NATURE ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO PROTECT ARMY AIRCRAFT IN ADVANCED SCENARIOS DUE TO THE INCREASED SOPHISTICATION AND UTILIZATION OF THE TOTAL SPECTRUM BY ENEMY AIR DEFENSE NETWORKS. IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE THE ARMY'S POSITION IN THIS MATTER A VITAL NEED EXISTS TO PERFORM A COMPREHENSIVE ENGINEERINGLEVEL ANALYSIS OF ELECTRONIC BATTLEFIELD. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE HOW BEST TO COUNTER THREAT WEAPON SYSTEMS THAT USE INTEGRATED RF/EO/IR ASSETS. THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES AN ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY WHICH IS OPERATIONAL, WHICH HAS BEEN VALIDATED AND CORRELATED WITH FLIGHT TESTS AND DIRECTLY APPLICABLE TO SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT. PHASE I PROGRAM PURPOSES TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY TO SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT.
