Performance of Stinger Teams Using the RADES Multiple Weapon Configuration

Abstract

ARI has recently been conducting research in an effort to assess the capability of the Realistic Air Defense Engagement System (RADES) to provide effective training to SHORAD and FAAD units. RADES is a simulation system. SHORAD soldiers, employing their actual weapon systems, engage subscale jet and helicopter aircraft in an outdoor desert environment. The weapons are instrumented, allowing RADES to record gunner actions such as identification friend or foe (IFF) interrogation, acquisition, lock-on, superelevate, and fire. In addition, verbal engagement actions such as detection, visual identification, and engagement or cease engagement commands are recorded. RADES also provides performance outcome measures such as identification accuracy, hit or miss data, and hostile ordnance release prevention.
