 | The Navy Theater-Wide (NTW) program was established to investigate the Navy's tremendous and unique potential to provide the U.S. with a crucial, rapidly deployable, highly mobile, and readily sustainable long-range Theater Ballistic Missile Defense (TBMD) capability. To minimize the development risk inherent in this extremely challenging endeavor, the program was divided into several evolutionary phases. The initial phases of the program include a series of technology development and flight test ... |

| The Bradley-Linebacker, as the first WRAP program, was an unqualified success In only two years, a Line-of-Sight, Forward, Heavy (LOS-F-H) air defense system was fielded using the WRAP process. This is an accomplishment the Army has attempted and failed numerous times in the last 25 years, spending billions of dollars in the effort. The WRAP process, with its support of rapid acquisition concepts, acquisition reform initiatives and streamlined decision- making ... |

| The use of force ratios is an extremely valuable planning tool for the U.S. Army. Analysis of force ratios provides planning staffs and commanders an indication of the required combat power for successful operations. While the use of force ratios is prevalent for analyzing maneuver force allocation, little effort has been made to apply this technique to air defense operations. The initial attempt at force ratio analysis within the air ... |

| Modern air power can often be the determining factor on the battlefield. As an enabler and subset of air power, the airborne suppression of enemy air defense capability possessed by the United States must be viewed as the critical link in obtaining air superiority. The collapse of the Soviet Union has refocused our national strategy, and a revitalized concentration on regional instability and uncertainty has developed. Nonetheless, the ability of ... |

This impaired NATO's ability to fulfill its three primary missions: (1) enforcing a no-fly zone, (2) providing close air support to protect UNPROFOR, and (3) conducting airstrikes to protect threatened U.N.- declared safe areas. Each of these three missions required the timely application of airpower. The ... |

| Research has shown that neural networks can be used to improve upon approximate dynamic inversion controllers in the case of uncertain nonlinear systems. In one possible architecture, the neural network adaptively cancels linearization errors through on-line learning. Learning may be accomplished by a simple weight update rule derived from Lyapunov theory, thus assuring the stability of the closed-loop system. In this paper, the authors discuss the evolution of this methodology ... |

| Modern Surface to Air Missiles (SAMs) present a significant threat to today's military and civilian aircraft. Current countermeasure systems such as flares and chaff rely on decoying the missile threat and do not provide adequate protection against advanced computerized missiles (Schaffer, 1993:1). An aircraft defense system that actively seeks out and defeats an incoming missile by placing a physical barrier in the missile's path offers a promising alternative to current ... |

The method employs stochastic discrete-event simulation of detect-to-engage sequences to develop expected leaker values for single platforms versus a common set of threats. A network flow-based stationing algorithm minimizes expected leakers by selecting the best station for each tested platform. The stationing algorithm creates AAW screen ... |

| Since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, the airfield attack subset of the counter-air role became increasingly hazardous to attacking aircrews due to improvements and proliferation of anti-air weapons. The United States and coalition air forces in Operation Desert Storm relied primarily on direct overflight and short standoff (man-in-the-loop) missions to perform airfield attacks, requiring numerous support aircraft, and resulting in aircraft losses.

This report corrects the error and discusses its impact, which is primarily important for ground-based defenses. It reduces the attacker's aircraft survival rates to about those of the defender's, improving the stability properties of space-based defenses. |
