Abstract
The aim of this dissertation is to show how counter missile tactics for a fast
attack craft armed with missiles [FAC(M)] against a surface-to-surface, fireand-
forget missile [SSM] can be optimised. As a result the ship and missile
will be modelled as generic concepts while the environment will be a
chosen area of operations. The applicable methodology is to simulate the
ship, missile and environment as well as the interactions between them. At
the same time, the ship will be carrying out combinations of five separate
missile counter measures.
The methodology is then to build a dynamic simulation model to optimise
soft kill tactics by a generic F AC(M) against a generic SSM in the chosen
environment and evaluate the outcome of the simulation by viewing the
experiment as a 25 factorial design and to analyse it accordingly.
