Abstract
OPNAV and NAVAIR seek to more accurately assess both the engineering-level capability of a set of airborne SIGINT sensors against a representative set of threat emissions, and the impact of those airborne SIGINT sensors on effects chains. Intent is to assess current and future performance, better informing investment and design trade space decisions. The research objectives are threefold: survey existing SIGINT Modeling capabilities within the DOD, design and implement engineering level SIGINT modeling capabilities as required, and finally, match/aggregate those engineering level results to mission level models such as the Naval Simulation System (NSS) and the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM). The research approach will be straight forward. All researchers will collaborate on surveying the existing SIGINT modeling domain. Then the research team will create two sub teams. The first will investigate possible SIGINT Engineering modeling solutions. The second team will investigate the requirements for feeding SIGINT engineering details into the mission models. Deliverables are intended to be a completed survey of SIGINT Modeling, with an analysis of possible capability gaps, design and or production of engineering level SIGINT Models, and instructions for how to aggregate SIGINT engineering models into mission level models.
