Chaired by Xavier Rolin MultiPlatform Tactical Picture (MPTP): First Results at Sea Mr. Benoit Cuvillier, DCNS, France MultiPlatform Tactical Picture (MPTP) is a substantial improvement in air defense capability, mainly in high intensity combat and saturating threats situations. In coastal areas, MPTP is crucial, providing actors of a naval force with a common, reliable, fast responding and consolidated tactical picture. DCNS has developed several test benches to evaluate MPTP. Concepts were first validated by simulation in 2008 under specific environment and operational conditions (littoral theater, missile attack simulation). In 2010, a six months trial period will be conducted with real targets ie. fighters and battleships.
A facility called “demonstration platform” combining a La Fayette class frigate and two land sites nearby Toulon has been designed for these trials. DCNS is thus experienced and intends to be a major actor in multiplatform tactical picture elaboration.
Test architectures and Results from both simulation and trials will be presented in the related paper. Software Prototype for Bistatic Acoustic Detection Analysis: TRITON Dr. Emmanuel Skarsoulis, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece A PC/Windows based prototype software environment called Triton has been developed for the analysis of bistatic underwater acoustic detection systems operating in a particular geographical area under noise- and/or reverberation-limited conditions. The analysis is performed taking into account range-dependent environmental (hydroacoustic and geoacoustic) characteristics, as well as operational characteristics of the involved platforms, including orientation and directivity patterns. Triton features electronic maps and user-friendly interfaces for the description of the analyzed systems and supports dynamically interchangeable environmental databases offering global geographic coverage, as well as integrated problem handling and saving capabilities. Propagation and reverberation calculations are performed using an efficient ray-theoretic code, whereas energy detection and matched-filter detection are modelled. The produced results include transmission loss, bistatic reverberation, probabilities of detection and detection areas. The computations are performed on a three-dimensional spatial grid enabling presentation of results either as 2D graphs (adjustable horizontal and vertical sections) or as freely manipulated 3D objects on a geographical background. Naval Fire Support Systems Evolution for Coastal Operations Mr. Rafine Benoit, DCNS, France Felix Alvarez, DCNS, France Using versatile naval units in combined and joint operations for naval fire support and coastal defence suppression will become more and more acute. Enhanced localization, communications and weapons capabilities, together with unmanned vehicles, would be integrated in future C4I capabilities in order to support land forces. This paper will consider future architectures concepts and discusses their effectiveness against technical feasibility and operational efficiency with regard to probable cost.
