Abstract
Security of U.S. military installations is of high interest and operational importance to the U.S. military
and allied forces. The Situational Awareness for Surveillance and Interdiction Operations (SASIO) model
was developed to simulate the operational tasking of a single Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a
ground-based interceptor used for searching, identifying, and intercepting potential hostile targets prior to
reaching a military base. This research explores insights for the tactical employment of a UAV and an interceptor
to combat potential hostile actions against a predefined area of interest. The design and analysis
of experiments are used to create surrogate models that quantify the success rates of interception based on
the employment strategies for both the UAV and ground-based interceptor and also characteristics of the
mission. The results provide guidance for tactical employment of Blue Force assets, as well as provide alternative
means to influence Red force behavior in a beneficial manner.
