Abstract
Many functions are considered for the design of GCV (ground combat vehicles), which are carried out to increase the survivability of GCV from enemy threats. By improving survivability, the interior of the GCV can be protected and the continuity of mission performance can be improved. The vulnerability assessment is calculated from the damage probability of the components of the target. The damage probability of the component is calculated by the damage probability of the sub-components. For the accuracy of the vulnerability assessment, it is important to accurately calculate the damage probability of sub-components. The damage probability of sub-components is usually calculated only by the penetration. However, it is difficult to calculate the exact damage probability by penetration alone. In this study, damage scenarios of sub-components are created and classified according to damage types such as a type of components, hit position, damage cause and result, etc., and damage rule is calculated and the damage probability of the sub-components is calculated. In order to improve the accuracy of the analysis of the shot line, which was used only to identify the penetration, we conducted the shot line analysis for the ricochet and deflection to enhance the accuracy of the vulnerability assessment.
