DIGITAL COMPUTER MODELING OF DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS (DEWS)

SPARTA PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A FUNCTIONAL MODEL WHICH DESCRIBES THE OPERATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF LOW ENERGY LASERS USED TO ATTACK/SUPPRESS BIO-OPTIC OR ELECTRO-OPTIC SENSORS ONBOARD AIRCRAFT. WE ALSO PROPOSE TO INTEGRATE THIS MODEL INTO AT LEAST ONE GOVERNMENT SPECIFIED 1-ON-1 OR FORCE-ON-FORCE EFFECTIVENESS CODE. TO CONSTRUCT THIS MODEL WE WILL DRAW HEAVILY ON THE REPERTOIRE OF DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS (DEW) MODELS WE HAVE DEVELOPED OR ACQUIRED AS PART OF MANY YEARS EXPERIENCE IN SUPPORT OF ARMY DEW AND JCTG/AS ACTIVITIES. A KEY INGREDIENT OF OUR APPROACH IS THE USE OF A SPARTA-DEVELOPED CODE NAMED LELEM, WHICH COMPUTES THE PROBABILITY OF DAMAGE/EFFECT BY A PULSED LOW ENERGY LASER TO AN ENSEMBLE OF SENSORS LOCATED ON A SINGLE VEHICLE. LELEM ISA DIRECT EXTENSION OF LELAWS, A CODE CURRENTLY ACCEPTED BY JCTG/AS FOR ONE-ON-ONE LOW ENERGY LASER WEAPON ENGAGEMENTS. SPARTA-S EXPERIENCE IN INTEGRATING DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS MODELS INTO GOVERNMENT CODES COUPLED WITH OUR EXTENSIVE EXISTING WEAPONS AND EFFECTS MODELS, WILL ALLOW US TO DELIVER A CODE AT THE COMPLETION OF PHASE I WHICH NOT ONLY EVALUATES THE AMOUNT OF LASER RADIATION DELIVERED TO TARGET, BUTALSO ESTIMATES THE DEGREE OF DAMAGE/EFFECT TO EACH ON-BOARD SENSOR.
