MISDEM Computer Simulation. Volume I. User Manual.

Abstract

The MISDEM (Mission/Damage Effectiveness Model) is a survivability/vulnerability model that transforms aircraft subsystem probabilities of survival into probabilities of aircraft survival and probabilities of various aircraft response modes, such as flight, countermeasures, and weapon delivery modes having different degrees of effectiveness. The model may be used to compute measures of effectiveness, such as number of targets killed in a mission or a campaign. It is intended for use in measuring the impact of subsystem vulnerability on aircraft survival and effectiveness for unenhanced or protected subsystems. This user manual contains: (1) a detailed description of the variables required to execute the program and the proper order of the input deck, (2) a detailed description of the output, complete with definitions of the printed data, and (3) a sample case.
