On optimising FAC(M) counter missile tactics : a dynamic simulation model to optimise soft kill tactics employed by a generic fast attack craft against a generic surface-to-surface, fire-and-forget missile

摘要

The aim of this dissertation is to show how counter missile tactics for a fastattack craft armed with missiles [FAC(M)] against a surface-to-surface, fireand-forget missile [SSM] can be optimised. As a result the ship and missilewill be modelled as generic concepts while the environment will be achosen area of operations. The applicable methodology is to simulate theship, missile and environment as well as the interactions between them. Atthe same time, the ship will be carrying out combinations of five separatemissile counter measures.The methodology is then to build a dynamic simulation model to optimisesoft kill tactics by a generic F AC(M) against a generic SSM in the chosenenvironment and evaluate the outcome of the simulation by viewing theexperiment as a 25 factorial design and to analyse it accordingly.
