This paper describes the analysis, modeling, and simulation of a notional air defense system using SMOOCHES (State Machines for Object-Oriented, Concurrent, Hierarchical Engineering Specifications). SMOOCHES is an object- oriented environment based on hierarchical state machines and extensions to Statecharts, specifically developed as an environment to specify, model, simulate and analyze / evaluate distributed, reactive systems. Using a high level system specification language, an object- oriented, hierarchical state specification of a radar tracking system with realistic constraints is derived. A graphical statechart representation of the tracking system behavior is also derived and implemented within the SMOOCHES environment.
