Slide 12 of 18
Notes:
There are two overriding aims of the Paris Interoperability Experiment, namely:
- to prove that the concept for interoperability prototyped in theNC3A AGS testbed can be made to operate in a practical environment; and
- to gather a data set which can be used to study various AGS issues including the complementary nature of AGS assets.
The interoperability issues will be addressed through the distribution of data in real-time. Data will be distributed from the HORIZON and Joint STARS ground stations to each other, as well as to the CRESO ground station, the Dornier ground exploitation system, the ASTOR ground station, and the Mobile Tactical Operations Centre(MTOC).
By utilizing the three 7-vehicle convoys provided by France in a variety of different terrain types and by planning of experiment geometries, a data set will be gathered which can be used to assess the advantages of different complementary asset employment strategies. Specifically, the data set will be used to assess improvements that might be achievable in: target detection; target accuracy; target resolution; and track continuity including problems created by terrain masking, doppler blind speeds and radar coverage. In this process the issues of electromagnetic compatibility of the two data links shall also be assessed.
