Missile Countermeasure Device (MCD) Effectiveness Analysis

Abstract

A Missile Countermeasure Device (MCD) is an IR Jammer which deceives the guidance system of Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM's). The Combat Vehicle Survivability Assessment Cell (CVSAC) conducted a study to determine the survivability impact of a modified Missile Countermeasure Device (MCD). The CVSAC used Groundwars, a force-on-force stochastic computer model developed and maintained by AMSAA, to analyze the effectiveness of an MCD with a Field of View (FOV) of 40 deg and the impact of using a Missile Warning System (MWS) to cue MCD activation and orientation. AMSAA has concurred with the analysis methodology and results.
