The TISES many-on-many engagement planning algorithm^Theater High Altitude Area Defense Integrated System Effectiveness Simulation

摘要

A missile defense many-on-many engagement planning algorithm designed for the THAAD Integrated System Effectiveness Simulation (TISES) is described. ^The algorithm represents an effort to fulfill as many of the features envisioned by the THAAD community for the objective system as possible. ^This paper describes the basis for the algorithm's objective functions, the constraints imposed on the problem, and the various defense objectives that may be represented. ^It addresses issues such as inventory-limited defense, overlapping asset damage, and drawdown strategies. ^The paper concludes with discussions of 'adaptive method-of-fire', the strengths and weaknesses of predictive ('look-ahead') engagement planning, software implementation issues, and an integrated approach to engagement generation and selection. ^(Author)
