PASSIVE AND ACTIVE RF DECOY EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION (PARDEE) MODEL

THE NEED EXISTS FOR A SIMULATION CAPABLE OF PREDICTING THE EFFECTIVITY OF ACTIVE AND PASSIVE RF DECOYS IN TERMS OF ARMY AIRFRAME SURVIVABILITY AND MISSION EFFECTIVENESS WHEN EMPLOYED IN ENVIRONMENTS INVOLVING BOTH SINGLE AND MULTIPLE THREATS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PHASE I EFFORT IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE APPROACH BEING PROPOSED BY IMPLEMENTING AND DEMONSTRATING A PROTOTYPE CAPABLE OF PREDICTING AIRFRAME SURVIVABILITY IN A ONE-ON-ONE ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION, THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL: (1) ESTABLISH THE BASIC SIMULATION REQUIREMENTS AND DEFINE A FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION; (2) IDENTIFY EXISTING USEFUL ALGORITHMS, MODULES, OR EXPLOITABLE IDEAS APPLICABLE TO MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS; AND (3) CONCEPTUALIZE A SIMULATION APPROACH. THE RESULTS OF PHASE I WILL PROVIDE A FIRM BASIS AND DIRECTION FOR FORMULATION OF A PHASE II DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
