Abstract. This paper presents a gun-target line based vulnerability modeling of
tanks or other vehicle targets in Finite-(triangle-)Element representation by use
of MSC/Mentat. Penetration and residual energies are estimated by an
appropriate penetration formula. Target vulnerability is evaluated by kill-probabilities in
accordance with four probability cases: mobility kill, firepower kill, personnel
kill, and catastrophic (total) kill, with emphasis to personnel kill
with additional protection by fibrous armor and the effect of
different armor. Experimental results support the overall validity of the
simulation approach applied.
