NC3A Simulation Support for NATO Exercise Clean Hunter 2001
Abstract
This paper discusses modeling and simulation methods employed to support the Conventional Counter-Force missions (CCF) and Passive Defense missions during the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) sponsored exercise Clean Hunter (18-29 June 2001), at the AIRNORTH Command Center located at Ruppertsweiler, Germany. NC3A and member nations of the Coalition Aerial Surveillance and Reconnaissance (CAESAR) project contributed simulated ground vehicle movements (including Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) battery and infrastructure), interoperable Airborne Ground Surveillance (AGS) platform and sensor simulations, and exploitation workstations in support of the Theatre Missile Defense portion of the exercise. During this exercise, CAESAR data from seven simulated Moving Target Indicator (MTI) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors, developed at a single site, was disseminated to Combined Air Operation Centers (CAOC) in Germany and the UK and to the Center de Coordination des Operations Aeriennes (CCOA) in France. This paper discusses the nature of the simulation environment supplied by NC3A for exercise Clean Hunter 2001 including the scenario generation, sensor system models and the communications required to link sites in five nations. Discussion will also include future plans for CAESAR simulation work including distributed experiments using the Combined Federated Battle Lab Network (CFBLNet), advanced scenario generation using semi-automated forces (SAF) technology and High Level Architecture (HLA).
