High-Resolution, Item-Level Weapons Modeling

Abstract

Modern item-level weapons analyses call for a computer environment which supports both geometric modeling and a substantial suite of predictive codes. The paper reviews the generation and interrogation of solid geometric models as well as a diverse set of performance-related applications codes. Examples of geometric modeling of armored fighting vehicles are given; in addition, various structural analysis are illustrated. Such modeling and analytical methods are critical for 1) evaluating the benefits and burdens of design options, 2) supplying necessary Measures-of-Performance for battlefield modeling, and 3) supporting and complementing the field testing of weapons systems. Keywords: Geometric modeling, Weapons modeling, Vulnerability analysis, Performance measures, Item-level analysis.
