Abstract:
In operational analysis studies; it is possible to model and simulate at an engineering level, engagement level, task level and campaign forces level. In this study, modelling and simulation studies are performed in engagement-level allowing the analysis of air-to-ground engagement effectiveness of fighter aircraft according to the operational environment. The operating environment of the combat aircraft, which provides survivability analysis based on low visibility and electronic mixing capabilities, is created. The search radar and tracking radar models for ground-to-air threats have been designed in accordance with the engagement level. The dynamic model of the fighter aircraft and the ground-to-air missile have been modelled using pseudo 5 degree-of-freedom. Modelling has been carried out to allow the use of changes in the Radar Crosssectional Area (RCS), which is one of the most important factors affecting the survivability of the aircraft, with respect to azimuth and elevation angles. The Radio Frequency (RF) jamming capability of the fighter aircraft has also been modelled in accordance with the engagement level. The results of the generic scenarios for the analysis of the effect of these models' parameters on the survivability of fighter aircraft have been presented.
