“…The optimal support time of datalink missiles and the team’s optimal use of DLUs in air combat have also been studied. 17,18 These studies do not address the quality of the datalink data. One study uses an adjoint method in analyzing the transition of missiles to the terminal phase.…”

Modern air-to-air missiles rely on data updated via a datalink about the position and velocity of a target until their own seeker can lock on to the target. The quality of the datalink target data depends on the errors of position and velocity updates, delay of these updates and lost updates. This paper introduces a simulation framework for analyzing the utilization of this data. The framework consists of models describing the target, the missile, and the generation of the datalink target updates. The versatile simulation experiments presented in the paper analyze the effects of the quality of the datalink data on the performance of different air-to-air missiles. The measure of performance is the probability of kill. The results of the simulations imply that the quality of the final updates before attempting the transition to using the missile’s seeker have the largest effect on the performance. Unless a large percentage of the target updates are lost or the seeker’s lock on to the target is delayed, the missile can typically get within a lethal miss distance of the target. The framework presented in this paper is suitable for evaluating the performance of all types of guided weapons.

“…A realistic AC simulation model requires components representing aircraft, weapons, radars, and other apparatus. The simulation model has to also adequately represent the decision making [3]- [5] and situational awareness [6] of pilots. Furthermore, uncertainties affecting AC must be taken into account.…”

The paper presents a new game theoretic approach towards the validation of discrete event air combat simulation models. In the approach, statistical techniques are applied for estimating game models based on simulation data. The estimation procedure is presented in cases involving games with both discrete and continuous decision variables. The validity of the simulation model is assessed by comparing the properties of the estimated games to actual practices in air combat. The approach enhances existing methods for the validation of discrete event simulation models by incorporating the inherent game setting of air combat into the analysis. The estimated games also provide a novel game theoretic perspective to simulation metamodeling which is used to facilitate simulation analysis. The utilization of the game theoretic approach is illustrated by analyzing simulation data produced with an existing air combat simulation model.
