A Combinatorial Geometry Target Description of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV)
Abstract
A computer description of the HMMWV was made using the technique of Combinatorial Geometry (Com-Geom). The Com-Geom data is used as input to the Geometric Information for Targets (GIFT) computer code to generate information used in target SPARC (Sustainability Prediction for Army Spare Components for Combat) analysis. This report documents the method used in modeling the geometry of the vehicle. The Appendix contains computer listings of the Com-Geom description data for the HMMWV. The description is compatible with the GIFT computer code which has been developed to generate input data for target vulnerability analyses. Based on the comparison between the Combinatorial Geometry description of the vehicle and the drawings and photographs upon which it is based, the Com-Geom description approximates the vehicle to a very acceptable degree. Within the constraints adopted, a great amount of detail has been included in this description with all critical and major masking components described. The completed Com-Geom description of the vehicle contains 588 solids and 533 regions and requires about 21181 words of computer memory on a 60 bit word computer for storage. The Com-Geom description is available at the Ballistic Research Laboratory.
