Field Demonstrations

Demonstrating the ability of the ADS to have military utility was a critical part of the
development effort. The Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC)

conducted three joint military utility assessments (JMUAs) of ADS ACTD System 1. The
three JMUAs were held over the course of 8 months, using Air Force, Army, Marine
Corps, Coast Guard, and Border Patrol personnel to operate System 1 in a variety of
scenarios and in a wide range of realistic environments. Not surprisingly, the Humvee
platform, which is at its maximum weight with the millimeter wave weapon system and
is unarmored and not ruggedized, was deemed an operational issue for deployment in a
desert environment. However, the military utility assessment results demonstrated the
warfighters’ assessment that the ADS is a highly effective, non-lethal, counter-personnel
capability.
Joint Military Utility Assessment One was conducted at Creech Air Force Base, NV, in
August 2005. The purpose of this assessment was to evaluate the ability of ADS to
enhance military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) and entry control point (ECP)
operations. Three airmen from the 99th Security Forces Group, at Creech Air Force Base
and Nellis Air Force Base, and four soldiers from the Air Defense Artillery School and 1st
Air Defense Artillery Battalion, Fort Bliss, were trained as weapon crew for this
assessment. Live, force-on-force exercises were conducted, including two MOUT
scenarios and two ECP scenarios. ECP scenarios entailed extended overwatch for a total
of 6? hours. The ADS crews fired 657 shots and achieved 914 hits on human targets.
This operational assessment was accomplished in conjunction with USAF Expeditionary
Personnel Training. Friendly forces and opposing forces (OPFOR) were volunteers from
the training squadron cadre and trainees. As part of the assessment, participants answered
questionnaires on statements regarding ADS effectiveness. There was strong consensus
among the warfighter participants that ADS has military utility and is effective at
impacting the actions of individuals and crowds.
軍事的実用性を獲得する為にADS(放射性否認システム)の能力を実証する事は、開発努力の危険な側面だった。
