Information Analysis of the Short-Range Air Defense Fire Unit

摘要

The human factors engineering judgments led to a listing of four general categories of information elements. The categories and proposed minimal SHORAD information requirements are (1) mission order: weapons control status, state of alert, primary target line (PLT) and sector of fire, communications-electronics operation instructions (CEOI), petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) and ammunition supply points, threat, defended asset, unit supported and friendly element locations; (2) air defense warning; (3) early warning air track data; position, identification, heading, and raid size; and (4) engagement air track data: highest priority threat, range, positive identification, weapon information, and flight profile. Some of these elements require other data to base a decision or a perception. For example, positive identification of air track requires direct vision, an identification friend or foe (IFF) response, or hostile-acts criteria.
