Abstract: In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones. Accordingly, the need for countermeasures to neutralize these targets has become increasingly important. Under these circumstances, high energy laser air defense weapons are gaining attention as effective interception solutions. In this paper, accuracy assessment model for laser air defense weapon is developed by using Modeling and Simulation (M&S) technique. To reflect the tracking and pointing performance of laser air defense weapon, the characteristics of gimbal on which laser system is mounted and fast steering mirror (FSM) are modeled. The assessment of hit validity of laser weapon is calculated based on operational scenario by reflecting the characteristics of laser air defense weapon and target. Through the developed M&S model, it was confirmed that the performance of the laser air defense weapon could be estimated.
