This thesis investigates the employment of Hyper Velocity Projectiles (HVPs) as interceptors for the Army's Air and Missile Defense (AMD) enterprise in the 2030'2035 timeline. The research recommends a proposed systems architecture for the incorporation of an HVP Gun System (HVPGS) to an AMD enterprise operating in a contested environment, with emphasis on the operating characteristics of the HVPs and their integration onto the firing platform. The study then develops a realistic operational scenario and models it using the ExtendSim modeling tool. Through the systems engineering process, the study traced the Army's AMD requirements and functions throughout the Requirement and Functional Analysis efforts up to the generation of an alternative concept of operation for the AMD enterprise. The analysis method enables the conduct of a quantitative comparison of HVP characteristics that influence the operational success of the AMD enterprise against an enemy in a missile defense engagement. The objective of this thesis is to design an alternative system architecture and concept of operation for the Army's AMD enterprise to employ HVPGS to better defend key U.S. and allied bases in the Western Pacific. Such a system would capitalize on the versatile and cost-effective HVP interceptors to address a potential salvo attack's ability to overwhelm existing missile defenses as well as improve overall cost exchanges for enhanced operational sustainability in the longer term. http://archive.org/details/asystemsanalysis1094566148 Outstanding Thesis Captain, Singapore Army Approved for public release. distribution is unlimited |
