Utilization of Patch/Triangular Target Description Data in BRL Parallel Ray Vulnerability Assessment Codes

Abstract

Within the DoD, two different target description methodologies have evolved and become widely used. The Army does vulnerability analyses using the Combinatorial Geometry (COMGEOM) method while the Navy and Air Force basically use the PATCH or Triangular method. To eliminate obvious duplication of target descriptions, a procedure was developed to integrate these two methods at BRL. This report presents a way of using the triangular target description data in the standard BRL parallel ray vulnerability assessment codes. Steps are outlines which will allow use of the triangular description data in each of the parallel ray vulnerability assessment codes used at BRL.
