Abstract
This paper examines the integration of the Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) concept with Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD). That examination is supported by a review of both existing IAMD guidance as well as DMO relevant literature, culminating with development of an architectural representation of the integrating challenges between the two missions. The operational elements of the architecture are implemented in a discrete event simulation, which examines the impact that weapon characteristics and employment strategies have on both offensive impact and defensive capability. Statistical analysis identifies the design and operational decisions that have the largest impact on effectiveness. Analysis indicates that an offensively oriented force executing DMO tactics against a near peer adversary has the potential to increase lethality by approximately 11% but also suggests that this improvement is associated with increased attrition to the employing force.
