It is indispensable that aircrafts in electrical warfare settings endeavour to improve their survivability by selecting optimal countermeasures against threats. In this paper, we model the successful probabilities of aircraft survivability equipments that remove threats encountered, and also propose a framework for the aircrafts to autonomously decide their countermeasures. And then, we design the operational effectiveness of the aircraft survivability equipments, and quantitatively formulate the operational effectiveness into the form of reduction in lethality (RL). We actually show how the operational effectiveness can be computed in simulated example scenarios. To verify our framework proposed in this paper, we experimented with the successful probabilities of aircraft survivability equipments and the autonomous decision-making against threats in various electronic warfare settings. In the experiments, it turns out that our agents outperform the agents that randomly choose their countermeasures, which is 12% more efficient in their performance.
