Development of New Standard Vulnerability Metrics for Training and Analytical Combat Models & Simulations
Abstract
This handout describes the rationale for development of new standard vulnerability metrics for training and analytical combat models and simulations. It covers the current traditional vulnerability metrics and the present status of proposed new vulnerability metrics. It also compares current and proposed vulnerability metrics, including a theoretical perspective. First, an overview is provided on the development of the traditional vulnerability metrics, including its implementation in Army combat simulations. Second, an overview of the vulnerability taxonomy, developed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), is provided as insight into how vulnerability should be modeled from a theoretical perspective. Third, an overview of the new vulnerability metrics project is provided, including objectives, proposed vulnerability metrics, FY00 accomplishments, and future activities. The purpose of this project is to develop and implement new vulnerability metrics that can represent all combat systems in such a manner as to permit various analytical and training combat simulations to model vulnerability in a similar and realistic manner.
