A Monte Carlo Model for Determining COPPERHEAD Probability of Acquisition and Maneuver

Abstract

This report documents AMSAA's Probability of Acquisition and Maneuver (PAM) model. The model is used to develop performance estimates for COPPERHEAD and related weapon systems. A mathematical for modeling the acquisition and maneuver portions of a COPPERHEAD trajectory is presented. In addition, the report contains a FORTRAN implementation of the model, a description of the required inputs, and a sample case with input and output.
