Improved Many-on-Many (IMOM)

IMOMPlanner models the

detection capabilities of radar

effects, the effects of StandOff Jamming (SOJ) platforms,

and the effects of SelfProtection Jamming (SPJ)

platforms.

The model is capable of

loading a detailed Order of

Battle (OB) for virtually any

geographic region of the

world, add the effects of

terrain masking and ECM on

the OB, exploit the results to

perform a variety of analysis,

and provide hard copy post

processing in a variety of

formats.

Background

Improved Many-On-Many

(IMOM) Planner is a software

application developed at the

Idaho National Laboratory

(INL) for the Air Force

Information Warfare Center

(AFIWC) to model electronic

combat (EC) scenarios. It is a

2-D graphics oriented userinteractive program that aids

in mission planning and

analysis.

Model Description

IMOMPlanner visually displays

the complex interaction of

multiple ground based radar

systems being acted upon by

multiple airborne ECM

aircraft.

IMOMPlanner models virtually

any type of ground or airborne radar system, virtually

any type of jamming system,

and any airborne platform.

Limitations

IMOMPlanner does not include

weather conditions, ducting

phenomena, multi-path

andionosphericbouncing in

propagation calculations.

Input Requirements

 IMOMPlanner will accept an

OB from numerous electronic

sources. IMOM Planneris

capable of utilizing both

digital terrain elevation data

DTED and CARDG map data

For more information

INL is a U.S. Department of

Energy national laboratory

operated by Battelle Energy

Alliance

from NIMA. All other input

files are provided with the

program, such as radar

parameters, Stand-Off

Jammer (SOJ) characteristics,

and Self-Protection Jamming

(SPJ) effectiveness tables.

Technical Method

For radar predictions, the

maximum detection range is

defined as the minimum value

of the radar range equation

calculation, the radar scope

range, the radar’s maximum

unambiguous range, or the

maximum range of any

weapon system associated

with the radar. If the target is

not within the maximum

detection range of the radar,

then the target is not detected.

Model Output

There are several types of

IMOMPlanner output: color

graphics of the radar detection

areas, color coded evaluation

of detection along flight

routing, color coded analysis

of stand-off jamming effects

and altitudes and text summaries of all the above for lethal/

non-lethal combat targeting

nominations. All types of

color graphics may be

combined or displayed

separately on color graphics

capable computer screens.

provided without data files.

The data files and operating

system are classified according to the source of the data,

and classified processing is

subject to the limitations of

the computer system running

IMOM Planner.

Distribution/Licensing

Requirements

IMOMPlanner is available

without charge to any federal

agency. Contractors may

obtain IMOMPlanner only in

conjunction with a government contract; contact 453
