Conceptual Specification for Defensive Technology Evaluation Code (DETEC)
Abstract
The Defensive Technology Evaluation Code (DETEC) is being developed to assess the potential of a realistically diverse assortment of strategic defense and offense assets deployed on all sides in possible global conflict. Principal applications of the code will be to study the roles of the various weapon technology concepts being explored for strategic defense. Technology requirements and sensitivities will be studied in the context of complete wars built up from many individual one-on-one engagements. DETEC will also provide an important vehicle with which to develop and test various possible algorithms for battle management and for communications and control The DETEC simulation features a wide span of capabilities. It includes each important object with separate modular representations of each replica decoy, reentry vehicle, missile, submarine, satellite, etc. Such complete offensive and defensive inventories are employed on all sides of an arbitrarily many-sided conflict. The one-on-one engagement modules are statistical processes based upon accurate physical models. Damage to individual assets is simulated by operating parameters that may be continuously varying, giving simulated performance from full to zero capability.
