Wide Area Remote Surveillance. Addendum 1
Abstract
WARS system requirements in terms of the problem it will in part solve have been defined. Unique characteristics exhibited by the enemy during preparation for standoff attacks on Air Force installations have been identified. WARS systems analysis and systems design, including surveillance and intra-wide area communications, have been specified. A modular design approach that will be taken in designing the WARS hardware has been developed. Added features that are felt necessary in making the WARS system adaptable to world- wide use and to the wide variety of possible Air Force applications have been identified. These features notably include local alarm data processing units that will reduce the data load on the RSDCS and the complexity of the CSCPD. The applicability of WARS to the Korean situation and how WARS could best be utilized in that situation has been outlined. Overall conclusions and recommendations are put forth. In general, it is concluded that the WARS concept is feasible, practical and cost-effective. In brief appended information, the organization and duties of the WARS team are tentatively stipulated, the susceptibilities/vulnerabilities of the WARS system are discussed, a scenario of the build-up or development of an air base and the parallel development of BESS is described, and a brief outline of how certain DCPG hardware could be integrated into the WARS system is given.
