Aliveness analysis is a computational technique which attempts to estimate the
expected number of losses had real ordnance been used during a force-on-force
experiment. This thesis carefully follows the development and motivation for the
aliveness concept. Examples of aliveness computations are presented, with special
emphasis on the SGT York Follow-on-Evaluation (FOE). A simple aliveness computer
program was used to examine the sensitivity of aliveness adjustments to changes in
such parameters as probability of kill and target selection method.
