Study on Quadratic Effect Assessment of Vulnerability of Military Aircraft Under Multiple Hits

Under the conditions of multiple hits and quadratic effects, the aircraft vulnerability assessment method is proposed by means of kill-tree diagram and state transition matrix. Four instances of the quadratic effects are investigated: non-redundant components to non-redundant components, non-redundant to redundant, redundant to non-redundant and redundant to redundant. The application of the proposed method to the calculation of quadratic effects is also studied.
