The Terminal Guided Submissile (TGSM) Effectiveness Model.
Abstract
The TGSM Effectiveness Model is a computer simulation program designed to evaluate the potential effectiveness of terminal guided submunitions against vehicular targets. The model's purpose is to help solve the complex weapon-target interaction problem in terms of targets acquired and defeated per submunition delivered under different sets of conditions. The TGSM program was initially developed by AMSAA with later modifications performed by LTV(1974). These changes incorporated wind effects, scan pattern variations, target posture, and trajectory representation. It was further developed (1978) to reflect influence of dominant and false targets on system effectiveness. The model provided the analysis tool for the Terminal Guided Warhead (TGW) Study and the TGSM Weapon System Comparative Effectiveness Study. This volume will provide the reader with an overview of the submodels and their relationships, plus a detailed review of the model inputs and outputs. Summary treatment of the modifications performed is presented.
