Multisensor tactical target acquisition analysis model

The multisensor tactical target acquisition analysis model (MTTAAM) was developed to support studies which involved the evaluation of tactical weapons systems. These studies required the evaluation of the integrated aircraft, sensors, and weapons performance. The authors discuss the model development and the integration of tactical target acquisition with the LOWTRAN6 model (TACLOW6) into the flight path generator model, BLUEMAX-II, with additional improvements to the model multisensor and weapon delivery capabilities. The sensor improvement includes modifications to expand the single sensor into an integrated multisensor (optical, electrooptical, and infrared) modeling. The methodology addresses the interactions of aircraft dynamics, sensors, weapons, terrain, weather, and target characteristics
