Compilation of Surface Target Vulnerability and Effectiveness Methodologies

Abstract

The Surface Target Subgroup of the Joint Technical Coordinating Group/Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME) is sponsoring an effort for compilation of target test data and vulnerability methodologies. As part of that effort, this report was prepared to provide a ready reference to analytical and empirical relationships used in target vulnerability and weapon system effectiveness computer simulation routines. The principal intent of this compilation is to provide the target vulnerability analyst with an overview of the various methodologies used in weapons effectiveness analysis routines which relate target physical and vulnerability descriptions to damage criteria, kill probability estimates, and parametric weapon system lethality analyses. This document should promote a better understanding of how target vulnerability data is currently used, and how future target vulnerability definitions may be structured to take advantage of improvements in available data and computer technology.
