Simulation of Advanced Integrated Reconnaissance Systems. Volume I. Analytical Model.

Abstract

This volume describes the AIRS (Airborne Integrated Reconnaissance System) Performance Model, an analytic-simulation tool for specifying and evaluating future airborne tactical reconnaissance systems. The model is also used for studying multiple sensor systems and their interactions in the context of an integrated reconnaissance system. Performance is analyzed by computing for each sensor the detectability, identifiability, and localizability (CEP) of each target in a scenario, including the effects of interactions with other sensors. Incorporated in the model are provisions for defining scenarios and missions. Variable parameters are used to specify the characteristics of targets, backgrounds, terrain, weather, equipment, reliability, and data integration and transmission. The model then integrates the performance of all sensors to give total system performance as a function of time-late, and evaluates the marginal contribution of each sensor. (Author)
