Method and Device for Estimating Allowable Threat Proximity

摘要

A method is provided for assessing potential threat from an approaching craft to a target platform. The method includes analyzing a vulnerability parameter of the platform, such that parameter quantifies a threshold to a destructive event. The method further includes observing a characteristic of the craft based on its size and type, and estimating a carrying capacity explosive mass of the craft based on that characteristic. The method further includes computing a risk boundary based on the mass against the parameter as a function of distance between the craft and the platform, displaying a graph of said boundary as the distance varying with respect to the mass, wherein the boundary represents the threshold, and plotting a graphical position of the craft in relation to the mass and the distance on the graph.

1. A computer-implemented method for modeling assessment of a potential threat from an approaching craft to a target platform having a structural material, said method comprising:
analyzing a vulnerability parameter of the platform, wherein said parameter quantifies a threshold to a destructive event; observing a characteristic of the craft based on its size and type; estimating a carrying capacity explosive mass of the craft based on said characteristic; computing a risk boundary based on said mass against said parameter as a function of distance between the craft and the platform; displaying a graph of said boundary as said distance varying with respect to said mass, wherein said boundary represents said threshold; and plotting a graphical position of the craft in relation to said mass and said distance on said graph.
