Studies on damage aggregation for weapons salvos II

Abstract

This document records three working studies from an ongoing investigation of models and methods for the prediction of the cumulative effect of weapons salvos. It is the second such document, following NPS Technical Report NPS55-90-16, July 1990. Its first two papers are about cellular targeting scenarios which lead to the proportional damage aggregation mechanism which has figured strongly in the investigation so far. The other paper extends an earlier comparison of an empirical rule for damage aggregation to the results of models combining proportional damage aggregation with various weapons hit distributions
