Abstract
A computer simulation model was developed (Interactive Simulation of System
Performance, or ISSP) simulating the integrated performance of hard-kill (surface-toair
missile, or SAM, and close-in weapon system, or CIWS) and soft-kill (defensive
jammer, or ECM, and Chaff) systems in the defense of a single naval ship against
attack threat by four anti-ship missiles (ASM). The quantitative contribution of each
system to ship survivability is evaluated. The hard-kill and soft-kill weapon systems are
the focus of the two major anti-air warfare (AAW) improvement plans assessed in this
simulation. Based on these plans, six decision options were created. In addition, this
study provides an analysis and comparison of the results of the inner air battle
abstracted from various weapon models. Finally, the use of the simulation results in
making choices among candidate weapon systems is illustrated.
