Synopsis

This is the first comprehensive text to describe and quantify the methods commonly used to predict the probability of successfully attacking ground targets using air-launched or ground-launched weapons. Air launched weapons include guided and unguided bombs, air-to-ground missiles, LGBs, rockets, and guns. Surface engagements cover both direct and indirect fire weapons. The text outlines the various methodologies used in operational products used widely in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. It explains the underlying methodologies for the key munitions effectiveness tools, Joint Air-to-Surface Weaponeering Systems (JAWS), and JMEM/SS Weapons Effectiveness Systems.

About this title

About the Author

Professor Morris Driels has taught at universities in the United Kingdom and the United States for over thirty years. Since 1995 his research has been into various aspects of conventional weapon effects, with particular emphasis on the topic of Weaponeering. In 1998 he began to collate information about the complete field of Weaponeering with a view to providing a graduate-level course on the subject. The resulting course was offered for the first time at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Monterey, CA, in the Summer of 2000, and it has been taught many times since then. This course at NPS is the basis for the 2-1/2 day Weaponeering Short Course he has taught many times to military and civilian personnel throughout the country and overseas.
