Attack vs Scan: A Comparison of Endgame Aircraft Survivability Computer Programs.
Abstract
This study compares two computer programs, ATTACK and SCAN, with respect to the utility and validity of each program. The comparison is made from two points of view; a model developer and a consumer. The utility considers six subject areas; (1) documentation, (2) geometric modeling, (3) P(K)/Vulnerable Area Modeling, Missile, Warhead and Fuze Modeling, (5) Scenario Simulation and (6) Program Output. SCAN was determined to be superior in every area except for the missile, warhead and fuze modeling area. For the validity evaluation, equivalent models were developed for a show box target and a simple warhead for both programs. A separate plot technique was used to verify the program results. For the sample models used in the comparison, the results agreed qualitatively with those from the plot technique. (Author)
