Abstract:

To study the influence of airborne laser weapon system to bomber mission effectiveness, a capability based on the modularized simulation system is proposed. An Agent-based modeling and simulation method is used. A capability based modularized simulation system is proposed based on five agent capabilities: sensing, communication, decision, movement and execution. The state machines of airborne laser weapon system, radar system and missile system are designed within this structure. In order to analyze the dynamic change of combat effectiveness, the mathematical models proposed are related to target positions. Then, a simulation of typical penetration operation is conducted to analyze the influence of mirror diameter and initial power of airborne laser weapon system. Finally, the influence of aircraft capability on airborne laser weapon system is analyzed through a simulation with low-speed low-radar cross section (RCS) aircraft and high-speed high-RCS aircraft. The results show that increasing the mirror diameter and initial power of airborne laser weapons can increase the combat effectiveness significantly, especially to low-speed RCS aircraft.
