Target Description Specifications for the Conduct of Integrated Analysis.
Abstract
The Survivability/Lethality Analysis Directorate (SLAD) represents the combination of three previously separate Army Laboratory Command (LABCOM) components that have led Army survivability, lethality, and vulnerability (SLV) research. SLAD responsibilities are to evaluate the SLV of Army systems against the full spectrum of battlefield threats. The divisions of SLAD conduct extensive simulations and investigations of system SLV performance against conventional ballistic, nuclear, chemical, biological, and electronic threats or targets. One of the technology-based program goals is to develop tools for the analysts to conduct studies that consider combined effects from all battlefield threats. This integrated analysis, we speculate, can be fostered by the three divisions working from a common target description (in BRL-CAD). The scope of the target description requirements specifies a general target description for integrated analysis across the divisions of SLAD. Discussions are of a general nature and address the specific types of threats for which the different elements of SLAD are responsible and how these specific threats interact (or couple) with the targets. Requirements for target description construction, resolution, and possible changes to the BRL-CAD program are discussed. This report was presented at the 1995 BRL-CAD Symposium, at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, 6-8 June 1995.
