Abstract:
This report provides a description and documentation of the computerized combat systems survivability model CSSM. The CSSM was designed and structured for use in the evaluation of the survivability of friendly combat systems and the vulnerability of hostile combat systems. The model focuses on damage achieved against targets in arrays which depict the elements of brigade, division, or larger size forces deployed on terrain in nominal or expected operating situations. The CSSM has the unique capability of determining both the direct damage to and indirect effects on elements of the depicted tactical force. The model also has sufficient flexibility to support the evaluation of combat effectiveness following nuclear attacks, and to identify changes which could lead to improvements in combat mission capability during nuclear engagements. The Combat System Survivability Model is used to perform the target or unit damage calculations as a function of target characteristics, threat levels, weapon effects, time after initial strike, and weapon application strategies. Based on resources expended, targets damagedfunctions impaired and the assigned missions, assessments can be made on the capability of Combat Systems and forces to undertake military operations as a function of time.
