Abstract:
Several different models are currently in use for the analysis of the vulnerability of armored fighting vehicle AFV to direct fire weapons. However, recent reports have declared that the suite of models is insufficient, especially in the low-detail-quick turn-around regime. In the task described in this report, dozens of users were interviewed. Spanning the field of applications from AFV and warhead design to theater-level modeling, these users reported their perceptions of the state of vulnerability modeling. These perceptions, without rebuttal, are faithfully reported here. Significantly, no need was voiced for a new model.
