Description
Summary:The advanced IRCM assessment model (AIRSAM) simulates an infrared (IR) guided missile engaging an aircraft equipped with infrared countermeasures (IRCM). Analysts currently use AIRSAM to predict the most likely IRCM response by an aircraft when engaged. The analyst often attempts to determine responses using IRCM or threat systems that are not characterized in detail. For AIRSAM to be an effective simulation for this purpose, the models for IRCMs and threat systems must allow the user to adjust operational parameters to match the IRCMs or threat systems of interest. Much of our work over the past nine years has involved developing generic models with associated configuration tools to provide the user with this flexibility. This paper highlights some of those generic models.
