An Integrating Framework for Interdisciplinary Military Analyses

Abstract

In the 1950s, ballistic vulnerability/lethality (V/L) emerged from the study of terminal ballistics as a focus on target end state. By the early 1960s, wargames evolved in which key inputs, generated by the V/L community, were Probabilities of Kill (PK). Loss/Exchange Ratios (LERs) became a central measure of mission effectiveness. V/L and wargames are but two of many fields developed largely independently in what might be characterized as a bottom-up evolution.
