METHODS FOR SHIP MILITARY EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS

Ship design and technology selections can be based on complete systems analysis results if one is willing to perform military effectiveness analysis. In the past, these selections have been based on ship size and performance analysis alone, but with improved techniques, comprehensive system analysis on ships can be performed. System analysis is most illuminating because it factors in threat, ship size, cost, weaponry, signatures, vulnerability, decoys/jamming and availability. The purpose of this paper is to explore military effectiveness methodology, develop key relations and show some useful results. The techniques proposed can be used in elaborate computer models for in-depth studies or in simplified linear relations to gain understanding of the interrelation of the variables and result tends.
