Characterization of Errors Inherent in System EMP Vulnerability Assessment Programs,

Abstract

The overall objectives of the DNA-funded program at LLL are to provide a measure of accuracy of currently used EMP vulnerability assessment methodology. In addition, system tools are to be provided to improve the confidence in assessment efforts, which in turn will result in improved confidence in establishing hardening requirements. During Phase I, assessment techniques currently used by the EMP community are surveyed and the sources of uncertainty are identified. Typical data are presented for quantifying the major sources of uncertainty in all phases of the assessment effort. During this phase, a statistical methodology to assess the impact of uncertainty on the survivability of a system has been partially validated with a simple system test. (Author)
