Validation of the Terrain Effects Model by Comparing Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Models
Abstract
This thesis examines the capability of validating the Terrain Effects Model (TEM) by comparing a time series output of the model to one produced during field testing. The TEM is a simulation fo an air-to-air missile's flight path while being subjected to electronic countermeasures when launched from an altitude above the target aircraft. Data from the field and simulation tests were characterized and fit with time series models using Box-Jenkins' Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average methodology. The models has less explanatory power than which is usually associated with a time series representation, most probably caused by large deterministic noise intrusions in the field data. Several recommendations for other simulation validation techniques are offered. Validation, Time series, Simulation, ECM.
