We propose to develop a model-based system architecture for modeling and controlling AESA radars. We plan to make use of MBSE and SysML to model the AESA radar and possibly elements of an associated SRM. The AFSIM simulation will be used to model multiple targets, sensors, and sensor platforms. We expect that AFSIM will need to be augmented to allow for effective development of both the AESA radar model and the SRM. Specific augmentation of AFSIM will include improved AESA radar modeling, representation of data fusion modules, and a feedback loop from the data fusion module to the SRM and back to the AESA sensor. We will demonstrate the feasibility of our approach in Phase I using AFSIM, an enhanced SRM that already exists at Toyon, and the improved AESA models on a scenario and mission set selected in cooperation with the Air Force.
