The purpose of this study was to determine if the NATO Identification System (NIS) Codevelopment Program would increase NATO Rationalization, Standardization, and Interoperability (RSI). The study had three basic objectives: First, to identify what benefits do the participating countries plan to realize from the program; secondly, to determine if the NIS program will realize any cost savings; and third, to determine if NIS will increase NATO RSI. The study found that participants plan to realize the military benefits associated with the development and deployment of interoperable identification systems, and also economic benefits, in both the production and scientific sectors, as a result of the program. The also found that the program will not result in any cost savings due to the development of several interoperable identification systems. The research effort was inconclusive in determining if the NIS program would increase NATO RSI. This was due to the lack of documentation as to whether or not other allied nations, excluding the participants, are going to procure the Mark 15 system or foreign equivalent. Theses. (fr)

Organizational performance is an issue that pervades many aspects of our society.The value of this subject becomes evident upon realizing that most societal interactions can be regarded as interactions between different organizations. Taking this one step further, the performance of these organizations is of central importance; if bad or incorrect decisions are made most of the time, the organization will fail, whereas making a majority of good or correct decisions leads to the success of the organization. It also becomes obvious that there are many internal and external factors or stressors that can cause the performance of an organization to deteriorate. Thus, organizational performance is, in general, not constant. Training may mitigate the effect of such stressors. Training procedures are of special interest to organizations where performance is more critical than in other organizations. The targeted organizations are those which are involved in certain dangerous or critically important tasks; for example, it is easy to see that more is at stake when designing a training procedure for an agent who is guiding airplanes from a control tower is more than one who is separating balls by color at a toy manufacturing plant. As such, there has been much research into identifying different training procedures and the effects of training in improving performance. A significant increase in recent research in this area has been a direct result of an instance of the identify-friend-or-foe task where the incorrect identification of an aircraft resulted in the direct

This thesis presents an analysis of the application of the Modular Command and Control Evaluation Structure (MCES) to the Identification Friend, Foe, or Neutral (IFFN) Joint Testbed. The MCES and IFFN Testbed evaluation approaches are also compared. MCES is a structured approach to evaluate Command and Control (C2) systems which uses standard and evolving operational research tools. The MCES approach provided the IFFN Joint Testbed an air defense C2 system architecture which became a descriptive tool for C2 analysts to define and evaluate measures to determine the effectiveness of competing air defense C2 systems. This IFFN application served as an evaluation and refinement of MCES as well as a tool for assisting the IFFN joint Test Force in evaluating U.S. Air Defense C2 systems in the NATO area.

This paper describes how the Identification Friend, Foe, or Neutral (IFFN) Evaluation Testbed Systems will be used to investigate aircraft identification problems in combat air defense. The system will fulfill the urgent needs of realism, analysis of air defense reactions, and flexibility. These needs will be met through a large-scale Central Simulation Facility and inclusion of both live and simulated participating units such as a PATRIOT Battery. The three major subsystems, all automated to the greatest extent practicable and designed for use by operational personnel are: pretest, which includes test specification, scenario planning, and scenario generation; realtime; which includes initialization, setup, warmup, realtime trial, and end of trial; and posttest, which includes data collection, reduction, and analysis.

Target recognition and identification in battlefields has been a crucial determinant to the ultimate success or failure of modern military campaigns. Since World War II, the Identification of Friend or Foe (IFF) systems installed in radar systems have served as the primary cooperative target identification techniques based on the 'question and answer' interrogation loop of unidentified aircraft. However, the IFF system has a number of limitations that pose significant challenges in the positive identification of hostile and neutral aircrafts, which can lead to catastrophic outcome of fratricide and possible elimination of a friendly or commercial aircraft. To reduce the probability of fratricide and enhance the effectiveness and robustness of target identification, this research will examine the radar Non-Cooperative Target Recognition (NCTR) technique of using the bi-spectral signatures of backscattered radar signals. The basic idea is that the geometry of the target scatterers and their mutual interactions impose features in the reflected radar signal that are typical and unique to the target of interests. The bi-spectrum can be used to detect these multiple interactions features which may then be used to match against a reference database that contains signatures of different target types for recognition and identification.

This interim report describes the work performed from 27 March to 30 September 1978 on Phase I of Contract F33615-78-C-1517, Multifunction-Multiband Airborne Radio System (MFBARS) Study. The objective of Phase I of the study is to define a wide range of alternative Communication, Navigation and Identification (CNI) architectures, to develop an approach for economic comparison of architectures, to establish criteria for selecting among the alternatives based on a set of requirements furnished by the government and to recommend a specific approach or approaches to be detailed further in the second phase of the study. The first step in performing the study consisted of reviewing and analyzing the results of previous studies related to CNI integration. This analysis in combination with information and direction from AFAL resulted in an assessment degree of time-sharing and pulse interleaving possible for the MFBARS resources such as antennas, transmitter power amplifier, IF amplifiers and signal processor channels. It also resulted in the establishment of a set of guidelines and ground rules that were used in the performance of the rest of the study tasks. Next several different overall architectures were developed. One of these architectures was a totally non-integrated configuration consisting of a set of separate equipment units, one for each CNI function (HF, VHF AM, VHF FM, UHF, JTIDS, IFF, TACAN, GPS, etc.). The units were assumed to be a next generation development beyond the current developed version of the equivalent unit.
