Threat assessment in tactical airborne environments

The paper reports the results of a research program on target threat assessment. A threat assessment process will be discussed. There are basically two components in this process: intent assessment and capability assessment. Threat assessment was analysed using Cognitive Work Domain Analysis technique. A model of intent assessment based upon Bayesian Networks will be discussed with its test results.
