ASM(AR) Demonstration Engagements Anti-Ship Missile Active Radar Homing The demonstration scenarios are: 1) Demo_1: Anti-Ship missile versus target ship executing an evasive maneuver 2) Demo_2: Anti-Ship missile versus target ship launching seduction chaff and executing an evasive maneuver 3) Demo_3: Anti-Ship missile versus target ship launching seduction chaff, generating active jamming and executing an evasive maneuver A brief interpretation of the major events occurring in each engagement is provided by reference to the time and spacial plots. Critical input parameters are shown. Selected output graphics are shown including time plots, Virtual Reality and 3D Plots. 1

ASM(AR) Demo 1 - Overall Description Missile is launched from a bearing of 30 degrees at a range of 9 kilometers in midcourse phase and enters terminal phase (simulation start) in search mode at a range of 8 kilometers descending to a cruise altitude of 4 meters Ship is heading due east and at a time of 1 second, executes a clockwise 3 degree per second turn The missile acquires, approaches, and strikes the ship 10
ASM(AR) Demo 1 - Select Engagement Output Target Ship =Yellow Chaff = dark blue Seeker Track Point=Red Ship signature produces strong returns Missile enters terminal phase (simulation start) with seeker in search mode, then transitions to acquisition and then track of ship Clutter level increases as missile approaches ship and track gate range decreases Multipath nulls visible as missile approaches ship Missile seeker tracking ship in azimuth and elevation Missile seeker remains in Track Mode until end game As missile approaches ship, increasing clutter levels and multi-path nulls cause end-game track losses Missile hits ship (see plots on following pages) 11
