  1. Operational Scenarios for the Evaluation of an Airborne Radio Itzhak Netzer Arye Pe'er CEMA - Center of Military Analyses

  2. Background Here's where we come in • RAFAEL is developing an airborne radio for the Israeli Air Force • A digital simulation is used to evaluate the system's performance - including compliance with operational specs • Operational scenarios are required as input for the simulation CEMA - Center of Military Analyses

  3. Scenario in Software-ish CEMA - Center of Military Analyses

  4. Scenario in Airforce-ish Operational Plan: deep strike • Targets & Routes • Tasking CEMA - Center of Military Analyses

  5. 2 1 2 3 3 , 1 4 4 Scenario in Airforce-ishDoctrine:Formation Flying CEMA - Center of Military Analyses

  6. Speed & altitude Special profiles: Bomb Run CAP etc. Scenario in Airforce-ishDoctrine:Flight Profile CEMA - Center of Military Analyses

  7. Affects Communication LOS obstruction by terrain Signal attenuation due to refraction, diffraction, reflection & interference Topography Problematic to Model • Sensitive to Geography • Very large variance Suggested Approach • Terrain attenuation modeled as stochastic variable • LOS elevation above "flat terrain" is parameter of probability distribution CEMA - Center of Military Analyses

  8. Flight Phase • A Flight Phase • Is initiated by: • reaching a route waypoint • Stochastic events • Defines (doctrinally): • Flight Profile • Formation Pattern • Stochastic events probability • Communication Profile Benign Ingress Hostile Ingress Benign Egress Bomb Run Air-to-air Engagement Hostile Egress Target Transit Base Takeoff CEMA - Center of Military Analyses

  9. Methodological Conclusion • A Scenario is a Model of Reality • tension between Accuracy & Simplicity • It is a Benchmark for system performance • should be demanding but plausible • It involves Uncertainty • requires use of stochastic terms • It is defined in two languages • military-operational (Airforce-ish) • engineering language (Software-ish) CEMA - Center of Military Analyses
