Title: Workshop on models to estimate military system probability of effect (P/sub E/) due to incident radiofrequency energy: Volume I, Findings and recommendations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6520131

The workshop on Models to Estimate Military System P/sub E/ (probability of effect) due to Incident Radio Frequency (RF) Energy was convened by Dr. John M. MacCallum, OUSDA (R and AT/EST), to assess the current state of the art and to evaluate the adequacy of ongoing effects assessment efforts to estimate P/sub E/. Approximately fifty people from government, industry, and academia attended the meeting. Specifically, the workshop addressed the following: current status of operations research models for assessing probability of effect (P/sub E/) for red and blue mission analyses; the main overall approaches for evaluating P/sub E/'s; sources of uncertainty and ways P/sub E/'s could be credibly derived from the existing data base; and the adequacy of the present framework of a national HPM assessment methodology for evaluation of P/sub E/'s credibility for future systems. Military operations research (MOR) analyses need to support current and future high power RF device development and operational employment evaluations. USDA (R and AT/EST) sponsored this workshop in an effort to assess MOR's current capability and its maturity. Participants included service, OSD, national laboratory, contractor, and academic experts and practitioners in this emerging technology area. Following is a summary of major findings and recommendations. 1 tab.
