2-4 THE TARGET COMPLEX (FIG. 2-7) 



Target Complex. The characteristics of the target complex include 

 its parameters and its mission as shown in Fig. 2-7. 



The 50-nautical mile (n. mi.) air-to-surface missile (ASM) carried by the 

 hostile aircraft requires that interception take place outside of a 50-n. mi. 

 circle around the aircraft carriers. 



The target's 2-g maneuver capability will exercise an important influence 

 on the radar and fire-control system design. It will be assumed for this 

 example that the enemy aircraft is provided with the capability for op- 

 timum timing of this maneuver. Also, it is assumed that the target does 

 not employ electronic countermeasures (ECM).
