Modeling and Simulation of the SWORD Tactical Missile Defense System

Abstract

This document provides a technical assessment of the SWORD (Short range missile defense With Optimized Radar Distribution) tactical missile defense weapon system. The SWORD system is aimed at providing needed point defense for high value assets, political/civilian areas, and forward area forces. A description of the SWORD system is given along with the mathematical modeling and preliminary computer simulation results (using the Extended Air Defense Simulation - EADSIM) that characterize its angular tracking accuracy and system level effectiveness against saturation attacks by low cost threats that are recent additions to the Air Defense Artillery (ADA) mission area responsibility.
