AAPMOD: An Interactive, Computer Model for Analysis of Conventional Weapons Effectiveness.
Abstract
This research effort was directed towards developing a flexible, operationally oriented methodology to assess the effectiveness of conventional weapons. Ease of use has been stressed, to enable aircrews and weapons experts to use the methodology. The methodology centers on an interactive computer program, AAPMOD, that simulates a user-defined attack against a user-defined target. The program is a derivative of Attack Assessment Program, originally developed by the University of Oklahoma for the Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness. This study provided the program interactive capability, improved its structure by adding Fortran V constructs, and developed a data-input program - AAPIN - to provide laundered input files for AAPMOD. Program outputs include probabilities of cutting surfaces and denying aircraft operations, as well as expected values for number of hits and area damaged. Validity and capability of AAPMOD are demonstrated in a three factor, two level statistical experiment. The experiment consisted of an airfield attack, with associated discussion of effects of the three factors. (Author)
