The Structure of an A-10 ECM Decision Analysis.

Abstract

With the results of the Mideast conflict showing that the Egyptians used both SA-7 and SA-6 anti-aircraft missiles to destroy many Israeli close air support aircraft, there is a new impetus to include ECM capability in the A-10 aircraft. This report is intended to show how decision analysis can be used by the A-10 Program Office to make the best possible choice between alternative methods of including ECM capabilities in the A-10. Furthermore, it is intended to show that the three most important benefits from the decision analysis technique are: (1) The systematic formulation of the problem; (2) The decomposition of the problem into its components so that individual judgements and expertise can be applied, and then the components recombined into an overall logic framework; and (3) The ability to perform sensitivity analyses on probability assumptions made in the analysis.
