Design Notebook for Naval Air Defense Simulation (NADS). Special Programs.
Abstract
The Naval Air Defense Simulation (NADS) is a large scale simulation of the defenses of a carrier battle group under attack by antiship missiles launched from ships, submarines and bombers. NADS treats in considerable detail, the airborne assets of the attacking Red force and the AAW assets of the Blue defending force. A prominent feature of NADS is its simulation of the CV Battle Group's acquisition of tactical information by its own resources, supplemented by external surveillance information. The battle group command center maintains a continually updated Blue Perception of the tactical situation. All of the tactical decisions are based on that perceived picture invoked by data that are often deficient in accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. The NADS model is organized to fit the conventional defense-in-depth zones; the outer air battle, the SAM area defense, and the terminal defenses. The Red attack force comprises bombers, escort fighters, recon aircraft, standoff jammers, and antiship missiles that are launched by the bombers or by ships and submarines. (The Red ships and submarines are not simulated.)
