Abstract:
The problem of determining a survivability index for an attack aircraft, penetrating a missile only defense, is formulated as an iterative linear programming model. The costs for the linear program are determined from a simplified radar detection model and a pilot visual navigation model. The costs which are determined are not functionally linear with terrain clearance and the program is solved as an iteration on a linear program, with convergence to an optimal survivability index. The survivability indices optimal costs computed are shown to be dependent upon the terrain and type of navigation target selected. This dependence suggests that terrain-navigation target combinations which yield high indices should be avoided when mission planning. Author
