چکیده

The coordination of anti-air warfare hardkill and softkill weapon systems is an important aspect of command and control for a Frigate. Since the effectiveness of a particular weapon varies depending on the orientation of the Frigate with respect to the threats faced, a key element of the coordination process is to maneuver the Frigate to most effectively use all the weapons available. This paper shows that the environment surrounding the Frigate can be divided into six fundamental sectors for weapon engagement. The method to determine the general effectiveness of each sector for the threats faced is shown. A naïve Bayes method that determines the optimal positioning of the Frigate to most effectively use the hardkill and softkill weapons is presented. Also discussed are the different types of planners that were investigated for planning engagements for the hardkill and softkill weapon systems. Preliminary results comparing and rating these planners are shown, both with and without the recommended maneuvers.

Coordinating Plans for Agents Performing AAW Hardkill and Softkill for Frigates

The coordination of anti-air warfare (AAW) hardkill (HK) and softkill (SK) weapon systems is an important aspect of command and control for the HALIFAX Class Frigate. This led to the development of a rapid prototyping environment, described here, which supports the investigation of methods to coordinate the plans produced by AAW HK and SK agents. The HK and SK planning agents are described. An ...

Target Engageability Improvement through Adaptive Tracking

Reaction time of current and future naval warships is eroded since they are expected to operate in a large variety of situations with constantly increasing complexity. To cope with diverse air and surface threats, the warships, either operating in a single ship configuration or within a task group, will require their combat power resources to be efficiently managed. The coordination and tight i...

Design and construction of 6-component balance dynamometer for measurement of the forces, moments andmotions of ship models in the towing tank

During design spiral of a merchant ship or a naval vessel, it is important to perform towing tank tests in order to measure its performance either in calm water maneuvers or in waves for seakeeping performance. Also, to optimize a hydrodynamic design, towing tank tests are advantageous.This article presents the results of an applied research project. The objective of this project is to design a...
