Development of a Time-Variant Figure-of-Merit for Use in Analysis of Air Combat Maneuvering Engagements

Abstract

Recent emphasis on Air Combat Maneuvering Testing has led to the development of improved analytic tools for the analysis of air combat data. These improved tools are characterized by a time-variant figure-of-merit or performance index for the determination of engagement treads in one-on-one and multiaircraft air combat. A derivation of the performance index, together with a comparison to present analytic tools, is given. Application to a variety of analysis problems, including design, training, test and evaluation, and operations, are discussed.
