Measuring Performance of Integrated Air Defense Networks Using Stochastic Networks

A model reflecting the evolution of an engagement between an integrated air defense system IADS and a penetrating strike group is presented. The engagement is modeled as an optimization problem on a network with stochastic arc lengths. We produce the distribution of our measure of effectiveness, as well as calculating the importance of each IADS agent to the performance of the overall system. We demonstrate the effectiveness of several jamming plans against the network.
