TL;DR

A system-level modeling approach for coordinated air operations Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUT) based on conflict-oriented analysis is proposed, which formalizes reconnaissance, strike, suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD) missions, and air-to-air engagements.

Abstract

The increasing integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into joint operations with manned aircraft introduces new challenges related to coordination, control, and decision-making under adversarial conditions. This paper proposes a system-level modeling approach for coordinated air operations Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUT) based on conflict-oriented analysis. The model formalizes reconnaissance, strike, suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD) missions, and air-to-air engagements by describing the functional roles of airborne systems and their mutual influence on the mission outcomes. The modeling framework enables a comparative assessment of interaction patterns and identifies critical system components that significantly affect coordinated performance.
