COPPERHEAD Operational Performance Evaluation (COPE): Computer Program User and Analyst Manual.

Abstract

The COPE model simulates a COPPERHEAD fire mission under battlefield conditions. It takes into account such degrading effects on designator, fire direction center (FDC), artillery battery, and COPPERHEAD round performance as meteorological conditions, terrain shielding, smoke, dust, enemy artillery, preparatory fires, enemy direct fire against the designator, communication failures, and target location error as well as numerous factors that affect COPPERHEAD's ability to engage, hit, and kill a target. This report includes detailed documentation of the computer programs that implement the COPE model. Sample cases complete the input and output as well as program source listings are included.
