The effect of component redundancy upon aircraft combat survivability.
Abstract
Aircraft combat survivability has developed into a
discipline of its own. This thesis presents a brief overview
of the two integral parts of survivability, susceptibility
and vulnerability. It examines the probability of an
aircraft being killed given a single shot fired by the enemy.
It further examines the redundancy of critical components and
the effect redundancy has on the probability of kill of the
aircraft. Several numerical examples are given. The thesis
also examines the Antiaircraft Artillery Simulation Computer
Program, and the modifications required in order to introduce
component redundancy into it are developed.
