The Analysis of Ship Air Defense: The Simulation Model SEAROADS
article
The Simulation, Evaluation, Analysis, and Research On Air Defense Systems model
(SEAROADS) is a computer simulation model for evaluating, analyzing, and studying
the performance of air defense systems aboard naval frigates. The SEAROADS model
simulates an engagement between a given ship configuration and an air threat from hostile
missiles in various settings, and thus allows comparison of different tactics, systems, and
configurations in reìation to a single ship operating in an anti-air-warfare (AAW) role.
SEAROADS has a modular construction based on an object-oriented approach and is
therefore easy to modify in order to investigate different systerns and tactics. This article
offers a detailed discussion of the implementation method, the model, and its applications.
It also includes an approach to validation and verification. Results and actual data are
omitted, because the authors' aim is merely to illustrate how operations research can be
used to structure a complicated problem and thus contribute to its solution
