Sensitivity Analysis of the PKHDOC Component Vulnerability Methodology.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate and quantify the sensitivity of PKH's (component probabilities of kill given a hit) produced by the Ballistic Research Laboratory's component vulnerability program, PKHDOC, to attack direction and to variations in several program inputs. Included in this study is a comparison of PKH's for individual faces of a component with the 'average component PKH's' produced by PKHDOC. Also analyzed are the effects on component PKH of variations in fragment shape factor, kill hole requirement, component material thickness, and component sensitive area. (Author)
