Air Defense Initiative Air-to-Air Engagement Analysis. Volume 1. Problem Definition, Solution Formation, Illustrative Results and Recommendations

Abstract

This document presents the final results of an analysis of the effectiveness of a U.S. interceptor long-range defense force to defend against the cruise missile threat in the 2005 time frame. Contract effort focused on two related issues: formulation of the problem to permit examination of advanced surveillance and communication technology potentially defining a 'cooperative engagement' concept, and a top-down approach to architecture modeling of the current and emerging generation air-to-air missiles. Preliminary results using unclassified data validate the approach.
