he systems analysis, test, and evaluation of strategic systems is a “preeminent technical leadership role” for ApL. This activity encompasses the planning, design, development, operation, and performance assessment of the Trident ii Weapon system, uniquely providing confidence-based performance assessments over untested trajectories. physicsbased scenario-independent statistical models are cumu...

Reliability is one of the main salient assets of modern weapon systems. The estimation of the failure rate of the major subsystems of military defence systems is of utmost importance in the design of any country's overall defence system. The results of a study to estimate the failure rate of the main computer system of the launcher of a shore to sea missile launcher is presented in this study. ...

Due to their potential for reducing the weapon size and efficiency, design methods for realizing hitto-kill capabilities in missile systems are of significant research interest in the missile flight control community. As defined in this paper, hit-tokill capability requires the missile to consistently achieve point-mass miss distances less than half the minimum dimension of the target. It has b...

In view of the problem emergency target handling and reasonable attack in combat process synthetic detachment, this paper analyzes main characteristics target, judges threat degree with “threat factor function”, controls output solution by solving objective function so as to ensure that great influence can be handled quickly. By improving weapon allocation model using control strategy, simulati...

The strike force asset allocation problem consists of grouping strike force assets into packages and assigning these packages to targets and defensive assets in a way that maximizes the strike force potential Integer programming formulations are developed semi real and random problems are built up and computational results via the CPLEX MIP Solver are presented Work Sponsored in part by the O c...

The problem of target assignment is crucial in the air defense operations, and the optimum target allocation scheme can greatly enhance the performance of the air defense missile weapon system. Based on the general mathematical model of the target assignment problem and the principle of assignment, this paper analyses cultural genetic algorithm (CGA) combined with the reversal operation, and pr...

The Nautilus Project was started in 1995 as a joint USIsrael feasibility study for using laser systems to defend against short-range artillery rockets. It has now matured into a successful laser weapon demonstration program – the Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) Program. By now the THEL Demonstrator has engaged and destroyed a large number of ar...

This paper develops a framework to determine the performance or reliability of a complex system. We consider a case study in missile reliability that focuses on the assessment of a high fidelity launch vehicle intended to emulate a ballistic missile threat. In particular, we address the case of how to make a system assessment when there are limited full-system tests. We address the development ...

Many countries including India use the Russian made SAM-3 (Pechora) surface-to-air missile (SAM) weapon systems to protect their strategic and tactical infrastructure. The mathematical computations done in this paper, conclusively proves that SA-125 low-blow tracking radar of Pechora is vulnerable to jamming. A project was undertaken to overcome the jamming vulnerability of Pechora aiming to de...
