An Open Architecture Framework for Electronic Warfare Based Approach to HLA Federate Development

A variety of electronic warfare models are developed in the Electronic Warfare Research Center. An Open Architecture Framework for Electronic Warfare (OAFEw) has been developed for reusability of various object models participating in the electronic warfare simulation and for extensibility of the electronic warfare simulator. OAFEw is a kind of component-based software (SW) lifecycle management support framework. This OAFEw is defined by six components and ten rules. The purpose of this study is to construct a Distributed Simulation Interface Model, according to the rules of OAFEw, and create Use Case Model of OAFEw Reference Conceptual Model version 1.0. This is embodied in the OAFEw-FOM (Federate Object Model) for High-Level Architecture (HLA) based distributed simulation. Therefore, we design and implement EW real-time distributed simulation that can work with a model in C++ and MATLAB API (Application Programming Interface). In addition, OAFEw-FOM, electronic component model, and scenario of the electronic warfare domain were designed through simple scenarios for verification, and real-time distributed simulation between C++ and MATLAB was performed through OAFEw-Distributed Simulation Interface

Data Management of Indonesian Warship’s Electronic Support Measures in Supporting Naval Operation

The development of science and technology is very influential in all fields of  life, including the military sector. This encourages countries throughout the world competing to compete in the sophistication of military defense equipment. Competition in the military field has the potential for a new style of warfare so there was a new threat. One such threat is Electronic Warfare, this is a war model in the era of modern technology. Electronic Support Measure is part of the Electronic Warfare that is passive, but very decisive in excellence in battle. Data of Electronic Support Measure processed in a Big Data that can be used in Indonesian Naval Operation. For this reason, a good Electronic Support Measure Intercept Data Management is needed in the context of readiness of Indonesian fleet command in naval operation.

Western airborne electronic warfare from Vietnam to the Gulf War : a revolution or rediscovery of fundamental principles and practices? : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for a degree of Master of Arts in Defence and Strategic Studies at Massey University

The purpose of this thesis is to study electronic warfare to determine whether experiences and practices from the Vietnam War to the Gulf War represent a revolution in electronic warfare or a rediscovery of fundamental doctrine. This is a contemporary question because the idea of a revolution in military affairs and an associated information revolution is pervasive in contemporary military literature. Military revolutions 'are generally understood to be changes in military technology, concepts of operation, and military organisations which, over the course of perhaps two or three decades, transform the conduct of war and make possible order-of-magnitude gains in military effectiveness. 1 Keith Thomas, The Revolution in Military Affairs Warfare in the Information Age Canberra: Australian Defence Studies Center 1997,p.3. Another definition is that a military revolution 'occurs when technological change ... combined with organisational and operational change, result in a transformation in the conduct of warfare. 2 Thomas, p.28. This thesis questions whether a revolution in military affairs extends to a revolution in electronic warfare (EW). Have new ideas and new technology been applied in the last 40 years to produce a new form of electronic warfare operations? This thesis will study the development of airborne electronic warfare after the introduction and development of integrated air defence systems that include surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). It will ascertain and evaluate changes in officially sanctioned beliefs and the collective body of thought on the best way to employ airborne electronic warfare practices, equipment and theory. Practical experience will be considered to highlight a number of consistent themes that arise and indicate continuities. These include problems with doctrine, problems with planning, and a reluctance to fully utilize EW. Inconsistent application of EW practices and equipment, a consistent lack of electronic protection below 10,000 feet, incremental development of EW equipment and practices, and recurrent system failures also arise as themes. These themes do not represent quantum improvements or order of magnitude changes that would be consistent with an EW revolution

Improving the Efficiency of UAV Communication Channels in the Context of Electronic Warfare

The article is devoted to the development of a method for increasing the efficiency of communication channels of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the conditions of electronic warfare (EW). The author analyses the threats that may be caused by the use of electronic warfare against autonomous UAVs. A review of some technologies that can be used to create original algorithms for countering electronic warfare and increasing the autonomy of UAVs on the battlefield is carried out. The structure of modern digital communication systems is considered. The requirements of unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturers for onboard electronic equipment are analyzed, and the choice of the hardware platform of the target radio system is justified. The main idea and novelty of the proposed method are highlighted. The creation of a model of a cognitive radio channel for UAVs is considered step by step. The main steps of modeling the spectral activity of electronic warfare equipment are proposed. The main criteria for choosing a free spectral range are determined. The type of neural network for use in the target cognitive radio system is substantiated. The idea of applying adaptive coding in UAV communication channels using multicomponent turbo codes in combination with neural networks, which are simultaneously used for cognitive radio, has been further developed

NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE – A COST EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF HARD-KILL VERSUS SOFT-KILL FOR SHIP SELF DEFENSE

This project is relevant to military acquisition, U.S. Navy financial management, and Naval Surface Warfare. It examines the cost-effectiveness analysis of potential Navy Surface Ship Electronic Warfare (EW) and vertical launch missile systems (VLS). Our intent is that the research informs the Program Executive Office Information Warfare Systems (PEO/IWS) and OPNAV N96/N2N6 by illustrating the capabilities and costs of EW and missile systems. We examined the effectiveness of Navy systems against a myriad of threat missiles, using estimated percent kill (Pk) calculations that encompassed the underlying sensors consisting of command and control, communications, detection, engagement, and tracking. Our results indicate that the electronic warfare systems, specifically the SLQ-32 (v)7, is the most cost-effective system to deter threat missiles, because of the re-load cost associated with missile systems, specifically the SM-6, SM-2, and ESSM. While the SLQ-32 is the most cost-effective system, we understand the need for redundancy, and we cannot completely disregard defensive missile systems. It is our hope that this research will ultimately aid in strategic decision-making for long-term employment weapons load outs on various ship classes. With more money invested in electronic warfare defense systems, the load out on surface assets can theoretically shift to a more offensive mindset, while still maintaining defensive missiles for the applicable threat environment.Lieutenant, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyApproved for public release.
