dc.description.abstract | A new approach to ballistic missile defense (BMD) is attack operations (AO), which seek to prevent or weaken an enemy’s ability to launch missiles through interdiction of left-of-launch network (LLN) components. LLNs consist of all actions prior to missile launch and reveal an opportunity for a multi-faceted missile defense approach alongside mid-flight interception systems. We develop a notional LLN simulation model for a general activity network that significantly increases the complexity of past models with regards to interdiction arsenal variety, model logic, and output analysis utility. This thesis leverages simulation modeling and output analysis techniques to create an interactive dashboard that displays multi-objective strike assessments using Pareto frontiers. This dashboard is applied to the simulation testbed to allow the user to assess the impact of different strike options. While the simulation model and corresponding results are notional, they provide a framework for comparing cost and effectiveness of different strike options from a variety of platforms when applied to numerous potential targets. | en_US |
