<p>This  research  compares  the  fixed  wing  altitude  algorithms  utilized  in  the  United  States  and  the  Australian  versions  of  the  combat  modeling  tool,  JANUS(A).  The  Australian  Army  Battle  Simulatian  Group  has  recently  developed  a  new  algorithm  that  more  realistically  models  aircraft  flight  profiles  within  JANUS(A).  A  Low-High-Low  strike  profile  was  simulated,  using  both  algorithms,  against  low  level,  littoral  anti-aircraft  weaponry  The  simulated  aircraft  were  flown  in  a  weapons  hold  environment  and  number  of  detections  were  recorded  over  the  entire  strike  route  as  the  principal  MOE.  The  simulated  aircraft  were  then  subjected  to  a  weapons  free  environment  where  engagement  data  was  compiled.  The  Australian  algorithm  enabled  the  operator  to  alter  aircraft  altitude  and  speed  during  the  simulation  on  command.  The  ability  to  alter  altitude  and  speed  are  essential  to  accurately  modelling  tactical  evasive  manuevers.  These  alterations  are  not  features  incorporated  in  the  present  U.S.  version  of  JANUS(A).  Analysis  indicates  this  controllability not  only  reduced  the  number  of  detections  significantly,  but  also  increased  aircraft  survivabihty  within  the  strike  environment.  Both  of  these  phenomenon  are  expected  outcomes  of  such  evasive  actions  This  work  also  provided  the  basis  for  future  work  that  could  incorporate  virtual  simulation  with  JANUS(A).
