Threat Hazard Assessment - The Key to Insensitive Munitions
Abstract
One aspect of insensitive munitions technology that is required by MIL-STD-2105, yet whose methodology is still ill-defined is the threat hazard assessment (THA). The THA requires definition of the statistical elements of exposure, likelihood, and probable consequences of damage. Current methodologies do not provide means to quantify the probabilities associated with the statistical elements of postulated threat scenarios so that they can be combined for risk assessment. In this paper, the statistically-based threat hazard assessment methodology developed by Atlantic Research Corporation is presented. We discuss how system safety and risk analysis techniques are combined to develop a new procedure that provides quantitative measurement of system risks.
