Fire: A Deterministic Model for Estimating Survivability through Area Surface to Air Missile Defenses.

Abstract

One of the recurrent problems associated with the analysis of competing airborne system concepts in a wartime environment is the determination of comparable estimates of attrition from surface-to-air-missiles (SAMs). The FIRE attrition model is a partial solution to this need. It provides attrition estimates of single vehicles or groups of vehicles flying straight and level through a corridor containing up to 10 types of SAMs. The geometric and temporal aspects of SAM/Penetrator interactions are modeled in substantial detail. This requires a fairly detailed SAM model. The penetrator on the other hand is characterized simply by speed, altitude, and a single salvo Pk relative to each SAM type. The model allows heuristic modelling of the effects of decoys, chaff, and electronic countermeasures (ECM) as penetrator aids. (Author)
