MORS Talk

Analysis of missile engagements is challenging due to the significantly coupled nature of the problem. Sensing, decision making, intercept prediction, guidance laws and algorithms, and simulation-environment fidelity all contribute to the success or failure of a particular engagement. Modeling these factors to provide timely answers to analytic questions requires consideration of the level of fidelity required and development and testing techniques to provide confidence in the use case, promote reusability, and conduct continuous improvement.

In a contested environment, projecting combat airpower is critical, yet the complex system-of-systems enabling airbase sortie generation remains a key vulnerability. This talk addresses airfield resilience against pacing threats using the Airfield Damage Assessment & Resiliency Model (AD-ARM), a mission-level, discrete-event simulation designed to analyze airbases under attack.
