ABSTRACT:
Methods and a system for simulating a weapon system are provided. The weapon system may be modeled using a detailed-error-source description (DESD), with an error term for each error source in the weapon system. A target for the weapon system may be determined. For each simulated shot, each error term in the DESD may be perturbed using a Monte Carlo technique and an impact location of the simulated shot determined. The perturbation of each error term, additional system parameters, and the impact location of each simulated shot may be stored in a system-state data structure. A performance result of the weapon system may be determined. After firing all simulated shots, analysis of the system-state data structure may be performed. Performance results and/or an error-weighting function of the weapon system may be determined based on the analysis.
