Reconfigurable Tactical Operations Simulator (RTOS) Operational Demonstration in 5-52 Air Defense Artillery

Abstract

During the combat operations phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Patriot air and missile defense units were involved in two fratricide incidents involving coalition aircraft. Patriot's unacceptable fratricide rate during OIF (18% of engagements) prompted the commanding general of the Army Air and Missile Defense Center to request a high-performance-oriented assessment of the fratricide incidents to complement the official Army board if inquiry investigation. This report summarizes the results and recommendations from that assessment. Recommendations for a solution to the fratricide problem involved both command and control and training modifications. The paper's primary focus is the demonstration and evaluation of modified training practices in an operational Patriot unit, 5-52 Air Defense Artillery (ADA).
