ADVANCED ECM/ECCM MODELING

A TWO-PHASE PROGRAM IS DESCRIBED FOR DEVELOPING A HIGH FIDELITY, YET FAST EXECUTING, RADAR SIMULATOR WHICH MODELS THE DETECTION, ACQUISITION, TRACKING, AND MISSILE GUIDANCE OF U.S. AND FOREIGN SYSTEMS IN AN ECM/ECCM ENVIRONMENT. THE SIMULATION INCLUDES ALL MAJOR ECM/ECCM TACTICS (INCLUDING TOWED DECOYS AND TERRAIN BOUNCE) AS WELL AS THE SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF MULTIPATH AND CLUTTER. THE PROPOSED PROGRAM BUILDS ON EXISTING TIME-PROVEN SIMULATIONS, INCLUDING (1) SAMES, AN IMPROVED DERIVATIVE OF THE SURFACE TO AIR MISSILE SIMULATION (SAMSIM) WHICH WAS USED BY ASD DURING THE SOURCE SELECTION OF THE ADVANCED CRUISE MISSILE, (2) ENDGAME, A SIMULATION OF THE ENGAGEMENT OF A MISSILE SEEKER AND ITS TARGET, AND (3) SEEKER, A DETAILED MODEL OF THE GROUND CLUTTER AS SEEN BY AN ACTIVE OR SEMI-ACTIVELY GUIDED MISSILE. THE TOYON PERSONNEL PROPOSED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROJECT ARE UNIQUELY QUALIFIED FOR THIS PROJECT. THE THREE PRIMARY PERSONNEL HAVE A TOTAL OF OVER 80 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN RADAR SYSTEMS AND MODELING. THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR IS THE CREATOR OF SAMSIM.
