Improved Metrics for Personnel Vulnerability Analysis
Abstract
Recent work on the general military system vulnerability problem has proven the usefulness of clearly distinguishing between four Spaces of vulnerability. In this paper, the four-space conceptual model will be brought to bear on the important special case of personnel vulnerability. This approach will permit illumination of the following issues: Traditional modeling practice in the personnel vulnerability area. Similarities and differences between traditional practices in material system vulnerability analysis and personnel vulnerability analysis. Technical problems with traditional modeling practice. The inadequacy of traditional practice for applications such as Live Fire Testing. The possibility of an improved modeling practice which is free from the major technical difficulties infecting traditional practice.
