Abstract of the Paper:

Electronic Warfare (EW) systems are controlled by the Operational Flight Program (OFP) software executing in the system’s main computer. OFP so deals with the prevailing threat scenario that the pilot is audio-visually warned regarding the threats to his platform and the counter measure responses to the threatening emitters are activated. These tasks are optimally handled by the OFP by referring to flight line programmable Pre-Flight Messages (PFMs) loaded into the EW system.  The PFMs are built by Mission planners with the EW Mission Plan Generator (EWMPG). This paper describes EWMPG developed at DARE for an airborne EW system.
