Discrete Event Simulation of a Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) Mission

<p>Contemporary military campaigns increasingly count on the use of air power. Suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) operations have been a crucial element of military air power for 50 years. Several developments and evolution in both air defense and attack systems suggest that SEAD missions will continue to have growing importance to air forces. Since SEAD operations have a significant impact on air campaigns it is important to examine their efficiency and identify improvement opportunities. This study explores factors that influence SEAD operations through use of a discrete event simulation built in Arena and subsequent statistical analysis of the results.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
