Analysing system of systems performance of a carrier strike group conducting anti-submarine warfare
Abstract
The operation of US and Allied military forces freely and safely
across the world’s oceans remains a paramount goal of the US Navy, often to
be carried out through the deployment of a carrier strike group (CSG). This
paper examines the need for an improved anti-submarine warfare (ASW)
system to protect a CSG, focusing on the design of an ASW system that is able
to thwart an attack through effective, timely, and precise engagement based
on the use of tactically significant detection, localisation, tracking and
classification of threat submarines. This effort results in the development of
system functions and objectives, appropriate metrics, an operational concept,
several competing physical architectural alternatives, and conduct of trade-off
analysis regarding system performance. Primarily, the focus is on the
operational performance of the competing physical architectures, which is
defined as the need to detect and defeat an enemy submarine during a typical
CSG mission. Potential ASW and CSG components are described, as well as an
assessment of several alternative ASW systems within the CSG system of
systems, a brief operational concept, and the specifics of the performance
modelling effort to include results.
