Maritime Lethality Analysis Toolset

Karagozian & Case Inc., Cobia Research, and Applied Research Associates are proposing a Phase I SBIR to develop an innovative physics-based lethality toolset that can be used to analyze the effects of multiple weapons against maritime targets. The toolset must be able to consider combined effects from the multi-physics modules to predict the structural response of the target when subjected to weapon lethality analysis. Among them, modules for the calculation of detonation effects, structural analysis, weapon fragmentation, kinetic energy penetrators effect, shape charges effect, are present. The toolset will leverage existing capabilities for geometry handling (e.g. BRL CAD). The application will provide a Monte Carlo simulation feature that can vary the weapon’s terminal impact conditions and perform statistical variations of other input parameters in a scalable and efficient fashion. The software will be packaged leveraging the already existing Modeling & Simulation platform, Endgame Framework.
