Principles of Air Defense and Air Vehicle Penetration

摘要

This text presents straightforward methods to analyze air defense and air vehicle penetration. Unique expected value models are developed with frequent numerical examples. Radar (masking, multipath, clutter and low RCS) and electro-optics processing are analyzed, as are electronic warfare, lethal self defense, and AWACS, SAM and Al one-on-one Pk. An integrated air defense system is used to explore relationships among the many factors and inputs. Results from these simple models compare well with far more sophisticated models. Expected target damage, compounding damage and outcome variability (with dependence in factors and inputs) are also addressed. This text was published in 1988.
