Enhanced Surface-to-Air Missile Simulation, or ESAMS, is a computer program used to model the interaction between an airborne target and a surface-to-air Missile (SAM) air defense system. Detailed data have been abstracted from intelligence information and incorporated into the model to provide comprehensive representation of radio frequency (RF) land-based and naval-based SAM systems.
