yScalable, a Code for Calculating Probability of Incapacitation for Multi-Round Munitions

Abstract

yScalable is a stand-alone C++ code that can be used to calculate Probability of Incapacitation (PI) values for a barrage of multi-round munitions deployed against a fixed set of personnel targets. Functions and methodologies that were developed to evaluate high-explosive-munition lethality and collateral damage have been adapted and extended to provide analytic capabilities that didn t previously exist.
