Abstract

A loitering munition system concept has been developed from given a set of requirements. A dynamic simulation model of the concept has been implemented in order to facilitate a general assessment of the system's ability to search an assigned target area, detect and strike against assigned targets. This work was conducted according to a previously developed system assessment method. A preliminary assessment of the concept was done in two combat situations.
