NC3A Simulation Support for Theatre Missile Defence Operations in NATO Exercise Cannon Cloud 2002 (CC02)

摘要

This paper discusses modeling and simulation methods to be employed by the NC3A to support Theatre Missile Defence(TMD) operations in the upcoming Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe(SHAPE) exercise Cannon Cloud 02(CC02). The TMD operations are but a small part of a large multi-corps, multi-CAOC (combined air operations centre) computer assisted exercise (CAX) using the Joint Theatre Level Simulation (JTLS) operated at the United States Air Force- Europe (USAFE) Warrior Preparation Center (WPC) in Einstedlerhof, Germany. The challenge for this exercise was determining how to integrate the detailed, entity-level simulations necessary to support active defence, passive defence, and time-critical and time-sensitive targeting functions of TMD operations with the aggregated movements of the larger JTLS environment.
