This book was released on 2009 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Survivability/Lethality Analysis Directorate of the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL-SLAD) is the U.S. Army's primary source of survivability, lethality and vulnerability (SLV) analysis and evaluation support, adding value over the entire system life cycle. ARL-SLAD provides SLV analysis and evaluation support to Army Transformation efforts in order to help develop and acquire a system-of-systems (SoS) that will survive and be highly lethal in all environments against the full spectrum of battlefield threats. The Army is undergoing transformation both in its command and control doctrine and in the warfighting technologies it employs. This transformation is rooted in the concept of decentralized decision making enabled by advanced network technologies; thus, the Future Force is viewed as a collaborative, adaptive SoS able to quickly dominate the threat across the spectrum of conflict. While traditional item-level survivability/lethality and vulnerability (SLV) methodologies suffice for legacy forces, new methods are needed for the Future Force. The Army Research Laboratory, in collaboration with Physical Sciences Laboratory of New Mexico State University (NMSU), is taking decisive steps to provide an innovative survivability/lethality and vulnerability assessment (SLVA) capability for the SoS (SoS SLVA) by developing the System-of-Systems Survivability Simulation (S4).
Download or read book The Generation Use and Misuse of PKs in Vulnerability Lethality Analyses written by Paul Deitz and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with World War II and its aftermath, the area of ballistic vulnerability/lethality (V/L) was first defined as a specific discipline within the field of ballistics. As the field developed, various practices and metrics emerged. In some cases metrics were developed that were abstractly useful but bore no direct relationship to field observables. In the last decade, as issues concerning Live Fire strategies have gained importance, increased attention has been focused on V/L with the intent of bringing greater rigor and clarity to the discipline. In part this effort has taken the form of defining a V/L Taxonomy, which is a method of decomposing a series of concatenated complex processes into separable, less complex operations, each with certain specifiable properties and relationships. Using the Taxonomy, this report describes the most commonly used V/L metrics are a function of platform aggregate damage, reduced platform capability, and reduced military utility. We show that these three distinct and separable classes of metrics are linked by operators that are multivariate, stochastic, and nonlinear. We also show that it is useful to form probability distributions with respect to initial and boundary conditions in order to characterize damage, capability, and utility. Many defense community studies ignore these distinctions to the detriment of fundamental clarity. Examples are given and potential remedies described.
Download or read book Strategy and Goals of the Ballistic Vulnerability Lethality Division Program for the Investigation of Ballistic Shock Phenomena written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special report presents an overview of the Ballistic Vulnerability/Lethality Division's (BVLD) ballistic shock program initiated as an in-house mission program at the U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory during 1991. This effort was designed to address BVLD's need for a ballistic shock methodology to incorporate into existing vulnerability models. Current vulnerability assessment models do not handle ballistic shock related damage in a satisfactory manner and since the future trend in armored vehicle development has shown a prevalence for inclusion of shock sensitive electronic components, it is necessary to account for this type of damage mechanism. Hence, there is a need for an improved methodology to fill this void. The current and planned research efforts, rationale, and objectives are presented along with the necessary assumptions needed to incorporate results into analytical tools compatible with current vulnerability models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This broad-ranging text/reference presents a fascinating review of the state of the art of modeling and simulation, highlighting both the seminal work of preeminent authorities and exciting developments from promising young researchers in the field. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of system simulation, the book showcases the historical importance of this influential conference while also looking forward to a bright future for the simulation community. Topics and features: examines the challenge of constructing valid and efficient models, emphasizing the benefits of the process of simulation modeling; discusses model calibration, input model risk, and approaches to validating emergent behaviors in large-scale complex systems with non-linear interactions; reviews the evolution of simulation languages, and the history of the Time Warp algorithm; offers a focus on the design and analysis of simulation experiments under various goals, and describes how data can be “farmed” to support decision making; provides a comprehensive overview of Bayesian belief models for simulation-based decision making, and introduces a model for ranking and selection in cloud computing; highlights how input model uncertainty impacts simulation optimization, and proposes an approach to quantify and control the impact of input model risk; surveys the applications of simulation in semiconductor manufacturing, in social and behavioral modeling, and in military planning and training; presents data analysis on the publications from the Winter Simulation Conference, offering a big-data perspective on the significant impact of the conference. This informative and inspiring volume will appeal to all academics and professionals interested in computational and mathematical modeling and simulation, as well as to graduate students on the path to form the next generation of WSC pioneers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commencing in the early 1990s, Mr. James O'Bryon of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Operational Testing and Evaluation (OT & E), charged the Vulnerability Lethality Division (VLD) of what is now the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to capture in a hard-bound book the art/science of vulnerability and lethality (VIL) analysis. This work has since expanded into the publication of a series of volumes, each dedicated to a particular portion of the VIL community-ground mobile targets, hardened fixed targets, aircraft, etc. As a first step in this mammoth effort, a number of articles were commissioned to be gathered from some of the giants in the history of VIL analysis. These articles gave a foundation from which the writing of the first of the series commenced and are collected in this report with the hope that future generations of VIL analysts will find in them inspiration for their own accomplishments.

Download or read book Vulnerability Science A Response to a Criticism of the Ballistic Research Laboratory s Vulnerability Modeling Strategy written by Michael W. Starks and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a certain kind of technical work performed by several DoD Laboratories and Activities as well as by aerospace firms and consultants. The work is traditionally called 'vulnerability analysis', about 150 of the workers toil in the Vulnerability/Lethality Division (VLD) of the Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL). This paper will try to illuminate issues about what these people are doing and should be doing, especially with respect to ground vehicles. The arguments will have an important bearing on the question of what we should be trying to accomplish when we develop computer simulations in support of our vulnerability/lethality (V/L) mission. A recent statement of BRL's V/L mission is as follows: Provide Objective, Quantitative Vulnerability and Lethality, Assessment Data for Decision and Operational Analysis, and Means to Reduce Vulnerability and Enhance the Lethality of BLUE systems. This mission statement is probably not very different from those of other DoD elements with V/L responsibilities. Note that of the two parts of the mission statement one is essentially scientific (Objective, Quantitative ... data) while the other is essentially practical (Reduce ... and Enhance).
