New Foundations for Survivability/Lethality/Vulnerability Analysis (SLVA)

Abstract

Military transformation is a national goal. While top level and ambiguous descriptions have been replaced with focused vision statements, clearly specified technical parameters and metrics of the new battlefield have not been developed by the Defense community. As the Department of Defense entity devoted to survivability/lethality/vulnerability (SLVA), the Survivability/Lethality Analysis Directorate of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory has pursued this issue for the past several years. In this technical note, we outline the conditions needed to develop adequate SLVA analysis parameters and metrics and then derive new SLVA practices for the Future Force.
