Description
Combatant Commands (COCOMs) around the globe develop, evaluate, and refine courses of action (COAs) due to changing operational environments. Decision-support tools are needed to enable (1) flexible scenario creation to support the breadth of potential assets, threat conditions, and situational variations across the full spectrum of integrated air and missile defense, (2) quick COA evaluation at an appropriate level of fidelity, and (3) comparative analysis to assess the pros and cons of each COA option and provide justified, actionable recommendations. To support COCOM COA development and what-if analysis, we plan to design and demonstrate the feasibility of a standalone Course of Action Analysis Support Tool (COAST) for Missile Defense. COAST provides analysts with tools to rapidly construct scenarios, evaluate outcomes with a scalable simulation framework, and perform comparative analysis with a COA comparison tool to provide actionable recommendations for RFFs.
