Analysis of Advanced Technology Weapons in Homeland Defense
Abstract
As part of a previous USAF/AFOSR funded Phase II SBIR/STTR research project, P49620-99-0-006-1, HPS Simulations developed a combat simulation software package capable of modeling the effects of conventional and advanced weapons on the modern battlefield including those based on High Powered Microwaves (HPM), Lasers, and other forms of radiation. This simulation is titled: Point Of Attack-2 (POA-2). The United States has always been at risk from small-scale independent attacks against vital military and civilian installations. Unfortunately, recent world events would seem to have made the probability of such an attack more likely than ever. Given that the results of even a moderately successful attack could have far-reaching and exceedingly damaging consequences, prevention and repulsion of such attacks are of utmost importance. At the same time, finding weapons and methods that a significant number of attackers available for questioning after the attack would also be of the greatest advantage.
