MILITARY AIR VEHICLE, AS A SYSTEM György Seres DSc. 2005
MILITARY AIR VEHICLE, AS A SYSTEM György Seres DSc. 2005 On the ROBOTWARFARE 3 conference in 2003 I presented a model for study of military systems
Universal model of military system Military system can be a system of any level, from a military alliance to a digital warrior. • Alliance, • national armed forces, • branches, • weapon systems, • military vehicles, • etc.
Universal model of military system Military system Alliance, national armed forces, ... military vehicles, ... digital warrior
Universal system-model of military air vehicle My lecture presents the universal system-model of military air vehicle for practical example of that theory
Universal system-model of military air vehicle Military air vehicle can be: • fighter, • bomber, • carrier, • exploratory, • helicopter, • UAV, • UCAV, • balloon, • etc.
Universal system-model of military air vehicle Military air vehicle fighter,bomber, carrier, reconnaissance,helicopter, UAV,UCAVetc.
Universal model of military system Inputs of military system are • requirements, • conditions, • influences, • resources from its Environment Outputs are • attributes, • capabilities, • signals, • reactions, • losses to its Environment
Universal model of military system Environment Military system Purpose Inputs Outputs Requirements, conditions, influences, resources Attributes, capabilities, signals, reactions,losses

Environment of military system Environment’s subsystems are: • Friendly • Command, • cooperative, • logistics. • Enemy • Attack, • defense. • Neutral • Geographical, • political • climatic, • meteorological, • daytime, • etc.
Environment of military system Environment Military system Purpose Attacker/defender Enemy Command, cooperative, logistics Friendly Geographical, political, meteorological, etc. Neutral
Environment of military air vehicle Environment’s subsystems are: • Friendly • surface and air command system, • surface and space navigation system, • primary and secondary radar system, • air traffic control system (ATC), • collision avoidance system (CAS), • IFF system, • landing system, • surface and air logistics system, • etc.
Environment of military air vehicle Environment Military air vehicle Purpose command, navigation, radar, ATC, IFF, CAS,landing, logistics systems, etc. Friendly
In details:inputs from friendly environment • Requirement • flight mission • Conditions • information • Influences • command • navigation • Resources • fuel
Environment of military air vehicle Environment’s subsystems are: • Enemy • air defense system • surveillance radar system, • electronic reconnaissance • fighter system, • SAM systems, • electronic countermeasure system, • camouflage system, • etc. • terrorism • ground terrorists, • air board terrorists., • electronic terrorists, • etc.
Environment of military air vehicle Environment Military air vehicle Purpose air defense, terrorism Enemy Friendly
In details:inputs from enemy environment • Conditions • camouflage of possible targets against visual and electronic reconnaissance • Influences • destroy or neutralizing of air vehicles by air defense or terrorist system • jamming communication and navigation systems • hijacking
Environment of military air vehicle Environment’s subsystems are: • Neutral • geographical, • astronomical, • political, • climatic, • meteorological, • daytime, • air traffic, • etc.
Environment of military system Environment Military air vehicle Purpose Enemy Friendly geographical, astronomical, political, meteorological, daytime, etc. Neutral
In details:inputs from neutral environment • Conditions • geographical, • astronomical, • climatic, • weather, • daytime, • etc. • Influences • air traffic, • sea storm, • desert storm, • etc.
Purpose of military system Purpose of military systems can be determinated by its environment (excluding terrorist military systems, which determinate own purpose itself) • Survival • Result
Main result of military systems must be determined by friendly environment Determined by friendly environment result can be: • deterrent, • threat, • victory, • defense, • intelligence, • destroy, • occupation, • extortion, • etc.
Purposeof military system Environment Military system Purpose Losses Enemy Survival Deterrent, threat,victory, destroy, defense, intelligence,occupation, extortion,, etc. Friendly Result Neutral
… but purpose can be determinated alsoby neutral environment Determined by neutral environment result can be : • surviving a desert storm, • surviving a snow storm, • surviving a sea storm • etc.
Purposeof military system Environment Military system Purpose Enemy Survival Friendly Result Neutral Survival of weather storm, etc.
… also purpose can be determinated by enemy environment Determined by enemy environmentresult can be: • Camouflage, • retreat, • etc.
Purposeof military system Environment Military system Purpose Enemy Survival Camouflage, retreat, etc. Friendly Result Neutral
Purpose of military air vehicle Main outputs of military air vehicle are attributes and capabilities for performance of air mission. Also outputs are the self-emitted, echo and response signals, reactions by influences from environment and losses. Purpose of military air vehicle can be determinated by its environment: • Survival • Result
Main result of military air vehiclemust be determined by friendly environment Determined by friendly environment result can be: • transfer people, armament, military tools and materials by landing or parachute, • transfer optical and/or electronic tools over determined territory for reconnaissance, • transfer bombs, missiles, torpedo, mines and/or guns for strikes against ground targets by remote control or for self-direction, • reconnaissance, capture, diversion or kill enemy air targets, • air exploration and save people • etc.
Purpose of military air vehicle Environment Military air vehicle Purpose Losses Enemy Survival Air transfer, reconnaissance, strikes, exploration, saving, etc. Friendly Result Neutral
… but purpose can be determinated alsoby neutral environment Determined by neutral environment result can be : • surviving a desert storm, • surviving a snow storm, • surviving a sea storm, • surviving a hurricane, • etc.
Purpose of military air vehicle Environment Military air vehicle Purpose Enemy Survival Friendly Result Neutral Surviving of weather storm, etc.
… also purpose can be determinated by enemy environment Determined by enemy environment result can be: • self-defense, • camouflage, • counter-countermeasure, • retreat, • etc.
Purpose of military air vehicle Environment Military air vehicle Purpose Enemy Survival Camouflage, self-defense,retreat, etc. Friendly Result Neutral
Subsystems of military air vehicle Environment Military air vehicle Purpose Enemy Technology Survival Friendly Human Result Organization Neutral
Universal system-model of unmannedmilitary air vehicle Environment Military air vehicle Purpose Enemy Organization Survival Friendly Human Result Technology Neutral
Universal system-model of unmannedmilitary air vehicle Environment Military UAV Purpose Enemy Organization Survival Human Friendly Computer Result Technology Neutral
In details:technology subsystem • construction and flight characteristics of hull and engine, • instrumentation, • testing tools of air-board system, • armaments, • air-board and ground service systems, • ATC, CAS, IFF, navigation and landing systems, • security system, • command-control systems, • tools and properties which helps detection for friends, • tools and properties which blocks detection for enemy, • tools and systems which provide execution of main mission, • service systems for before- and after-flight tests, • etc.
In details:organization subsystem • air and ground personal training, • previous and direct preparation of flight mission, • ground and air fuel supply, • take-off and landing on own or alien aerodrome, • reconnaissance air and ground target, • execution of typical air missions, • avoidance typical emergency situation, • blocking of enemy reconnaissance, • etc.
In details:human subsystem • skills of air-board and ground personnel, • physical and psychical condition of air-board personnel, • antiterrorist readiness of air-board and ground personnel, • etc.
Ultimate conclusion Success or failure of a new military technology depends on that, how developer takes other system’s elements or system’s environment and purposes into consideration
