Abstract :
The model was developed to cost-effectively evaluate candidate antenna systems for Satellite Communications between the P-3C Orion Anti-Submarine aircraft and the Navy Anti-Submarine Warfare Operational Centers (ASWOC). Constituent elements of the model are discussed, data used by the model are described and a comparison to actual flight test results is made. Limitations in the model are indicated with possible improvements noted. The model was tailored to determine performance during P-3C ASW operations; however, it can be easily altered for other aircraft and tactical scenarios.
