Analysis for Cooperative Behavior Effectiveness of Autonomous Wide Area Search Munitions

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how a simulation model can accurately represent the performance of the autonomous wide area search munitions, and to find the effectiveness of the cooperative behavior on the autonomous munitions. Though it does not provide a practical solution for the development of the autonomous wide area search munitions, this research will show some meaningful allocations of the munitions tasks that are applicable to the development of the autonomous munitions. For the first phase, this thesis presents how accurately a simplified simulation model can represent a proposed weapon system by comparing the simulation results to the analytical solutions. For the second phase, this research investigates how each mission parameters including cooperative behavior affects the performance of the weapon system.
