An Overview of the "Greyscales" Lethality Assessment Methodology

Greyscales is a method for producing estimates of guided missile miss distance and missile warhead probability of kill. The associated computer code has been written to be portable and capable of being incorporated into a variety of simulations. The code has already been integrated into the Weapon Systems Division MECA and DUEL missile engagement simulations. It can also be integrated into larger scale simulations where multiple engagements between various platforms are represented. Greyscales provides an improved means of assessing missile/target engagements without resorting to computationally intensive missile and warhead/target interaction models. This brief report describes the greyscales approach. RELEASE LIMITATION Approved for public release UNCLASSIFIED
