Description

Debris mitigation for both RF and EO/IR sensors is necessary for improving the BMDS against raid scenarios. The time and length scales important to debris mitigation span a large range, and are dependent upon engagement conditions. To address the problem of debris mitigation, accurate debris fields must be modeled for all potential engagement conditions, that is validated to the best sources of late-time intercept debris measurements. The proposed effort, Multi-Phenomenology Intercept Reconstruction (MPIR), will attempt an all sensor, multi-phenomenology (RF and EO/IR), reconstruction of the late time intercept debris scenes from BMDS flight tests, made possible through the use of hydro-structural simulation output. This approach will result in further validation of hydro-structural uncertainty models that can be directly applied to late-time sensor characterization for missile intercept debris.
