Ground Based Intercept of a Ballistic Missile: Battle Management
Abstract
This paper is based on a group simulation project completed for ASE 583, Engineering Simulation. The class designed and simulated a ballistic missile intercept system; technical issues associated with the detection, acquisition, and hit of an incoming missile were primary concerns. Specific components modeled in this simulation include space-based sensors, ground based radars, battle management, the interceptor missile, and the global positioning system (GPS) This particular paper covers the battle management aspects of the simulation. The four main topics of discussion will include infrared data processing, launch message timing, initial track generation, and track updating.
