Survivability Analysis for the Evaluation of Personnel in Body Armor
The U.S. Army performs combat system survivability/lethality/vulnerability (SLV) analyses using a software package called MUVES-S2. MUVES-S2 is an Army developed and maintained SLV computer model capable of analyzing the effects of one or more munitions against aircraft or ground-mobile targets and...
