Surveillance and System Performance
Wednesday 10th November 2010, 0900hrs–1030hrs
Chaired by Kate Paige Naval Radar Sensors for New Naval Operations Mr. Gunter Menacher, EADS Deutschland GmbH, Germany For some Navies new types of operations not only in blue water, a variety of different naval radar sensors for the detection of asymmetric threats to support operation in brown water and typical blue water surveillance activities will be available at EADS. This paper will examine, from an EADS perspective, how a number of these challenges can be addressed. It will examine the EADS new type naval radars TRS-3D Mk.II and TRSS as members of the EADS radar familiy. The typical chararacteristics and performances will be highlighted and how it is applicable for typical naval missions on different naval vessel types. Application of Aegis Systems Ashore Mr. H.B. Stevens, Lockheed Martin-MS2, United States Aegis SPY-1 derivative systems have been in use ashore for several years. Two such systems are a U.S. Air Force data collection system and a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Severe Storm Research Laboratory (SSRL). Continued lifecycle improvements and complementary industry investments in these systems has spawned hybrid approaches for implementation of SPY-1 derivatives ashore. These ashore systems can be single-face pedestal-mounted systems providing a 90 degree field of view trainable over 360 degrees, fixed two-face systems with a 180 degree field of view, or a fixed four-face system with a 360 degree field of view. Opportunities for cost-effective reuse include air and space surveillance and tracking, intelligence data collection, missile range mission assurance and safety, and Homeland Security. Emerging overseas applications for Aegis systems ashore could benefit U.S. bilateral or multinational objectives. Sites ashore in Europe, the Far East, and the Middle East could enable applications such as multinational test and evaluation, airspace deconfliction, and protection of deployed forces and allies. For example, a multi-purpose volume search and tracking SPY-1 radar derivative system installed at the NATO Missile Firing Installation (NAMFI) on Crete could be mutually beneficial to mission objectives of the U.S., NATO, and the host nation of Greece. This presentation will review representative potential applications for Aegis Ashore, and examines benefits, technical considerations, and cost advantages of this re-use opportunity. Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Mission Plans: Effectiveness Evaluation Ms Cynthia Paladino, Lockheed Martin-MS2, United States For effective use of Integrated Air & Missile Defense (IAMD) resources, a methodology is needed to plan for assigned missions using available assets from multiple systems and units, or IAMD elements. Multi-element IAMD planning typically involves a command-level C2 node assigning missions to individual elements, which in turn use organic planning tools to develop detailed plans to fulfill their mission assignments. The resulting individual asset plans are generally not shared, and an integrated plan thus cannot be constructed. A methodology is needed to merge mission plans from individual IAMD elements, and to analyze their combined effectiveness against the overall mission. Such a methodology does not yet exist, largely because individual mission planning capabilities were developed independently, without adherence to a common plan representation. This presentation will discuss a formal method for evaluating the performance of individual IAMD element plans. The method provides a common frame of reference for merging plan results, independent of the elements that produced them. For both Ballistic Missile Defense and Air Defense mission plans, a statistical framework based on error budget and probability tree analysis is defined, along with a set of “plan performance” metrics such as Probability of Kill (Pk). For IAMD mission plans, combined resource management metrics are defined, such as radar usage and asset effectiveness as a function of location. A mathematical foundation is introduced for combining plan metrics across multiple missions and assets, including visualization of system performance on contour maps for selected metrics. Finally, examples of performance contours will be presented, illustrating the utility of an integrated plan evaluation methodology.
