Goals for the project

• To make a model of the situation of the aircraft/pilot

• To try different techniques for decision support based on the model

• To make a prototype based on a given technique

Problem description

• Many sources of information• Stress• Real-time• Trustworthy

[DAT/SEN NOV04]

Sources of information

• Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)• Missile Warning System (MWS)• Jammer• Position and orientation• Amount of countermeasures

• Chaff• Flares

Semi-active Radar

Infrared

Electro-Optical

Active Radar

Track-Via-Missile

INS/GPS

Command

Keeping it all together

• According to the Missile Index about 650 missile systems have been developed

• … and 200-300 of these are still deployed

• Different missiles, different types of guidance, different countermeasures

Pilot actions

• Manoeuvre (altitude, aspect angle, G’s)

• Dispense chaff• Dispense flares• Turn on/off jammer• Wait / do nothing• (Eject)

Further work

• Parameters are still added to the model

• Other models and techniques are to be examined

• Tests against simulator/aircraft flight data

• Development of a prototype• Design of the interface between

the DSS and the pilot
