Developing Operational Threat Scenarios

Abstract

The operational effectiveness analyst is tasked with developing a simulation model for a manned bomber. Which of the dozens of potential adversary air defense weapons should he/she include in the model? Another analyst is examining a satellite communications system for the late 1990's. What proportion of the effort should be devoted to postulated EHF jamming satellites vs. the in- place ground EHF jammers? A third analyst is working on the Advanced Strategic Missile (ASM). The ASM analyst cannot decide whether to include sabotage of the missile base as a realistic operational threat to this system. This pamphlet describes a procedure for developing an operational scenario encompassing the system's features and mission(s), potential threats, and the various possible system/threat interactions. The approach in this document is to lay out a sequence of steps the analyst can take to develop the operational threat scenario. Military operations.
