Abstract
Project Summary: This study examined the feasibility of an Integrated Salvo Table tool that could help planners understand the most efficient ordnance packages to order, as constrained by availability and delivery method, against given threat packages. We investigated the following questions: - How can we develop an initial framework for an integrated salvo table as described? - Is it feasible to develop a comprehensive/integrated salvo table which would operate in Navy Information Technology (IT) environments?- Is it feasible to network the Table for multiple users in different locations to collaborate? Existing salvo tables are printed documents that assume the decision maker will choose the target and the type of weapon to be used and that there will be exactly one of each. Given the type of target, the type of weapon, and the desired outcome, the table determines the needed salvo size and how many missiles to launch to achieve the desired outcome. All other aspects of the problem are left to the human decision maker.As the Navy adopts new ideas such as Integrated Fires and Distributed Lethality, additional concerns become relevant. Both offense and defense may involve cooperation between multiple platforms, both surface and air. It is vital that tactical planners understand how new and advanced surface warfare (SUW) ordnance types can be employed in combination by air and surface launching platforms in order to achieve the desired effects.
