Predicting the Operational Effectiveness of Aircraft Survivability Equipment Suite

Abstract—In this paper, we model the method in which aircraft survivability equipment suite ssuccessfully choose their countermeasures, and experiment with their autonomous decision-making against threats in various electronic warfare settings. We have designed and implemented our simulators to estimate the operational effectiveness of the aircraft survivability equipment suite. We formulate the operational effectiveness into the form of reduction in lethality, and also propose the benchmark of reduction in lethality in various methods of removing threats. Using our simulator, we hope that the autonomous decision-making of countermeasures and the analysis of survivability using the framework of reduction in lethality could be available for military operators.
