Inhaltsangabe

The primary objective of Weaponeering, Fourth Edition is to assist those engaged in assessing the effects of conventional weapons to understand the components, limitations and techniques needed to perform that assessment. The intent is to explain the underlying methodologies behind various weaponeering tools rather than how to use the tools themselves. A comprehensive two-volume set, it consists of Weaponeering: An Introduction, Fourth Edition, Volume 1 and Advanced Weaponeering, Fourth Edition, Volume 2, featuring 36 newly updated and organized chapters and two appendices of authoritative information that guides the reader from introductory through advanced concepts. These volumes may also be purchased individually. Weaponeering: An Introduction, Volume 1, covers the basic materials needed to compute the damage to a target by conventional kinetic weapons – trajectory, accuracy, warhead lethality and target vulnerability. In addition, a methodology is needed to calculate a numerical value of target damage. Once the basics are understood, the book addresses typical targets of concern to the warfighter including vehicles, personnel, bridges, buildings and underground bunkers, airblast and collateral damage. Several examples of real-world scenarios supplement the individual chapters to illustrate the application of the material covered. To generate target damage estimates, an unclassified computer program is provided that implements most of the methods described in Volume 1. This is supplemented by a database approved by the JTCG/ME for educational purposes so that several case studies of realistic attacks can be evaluated.
