Description

ABSTRACT: Many of today"s munitions effectiveness measures adopt unrealistic damage assessments, such as coarse granularity, state-less damage, and independent effects. We propose to build an effectiveness model inspired by effects-based operations. We will decompose targets into their constituent elements as well as dependencies among other assets. Weapon damage in this sense is viewed as against a target"s elements with cascading effects to other assets. The resulting effectiveness model will have finer-grained and accurate damage assessments. BENEFIT: Weaponeering and simulation tools will be greatly improved for cooperative strike scenarios regarding accuracy and trustworthiness.
