Abstract:
1. A method for improving vehicle survivability, the method comprising acts of: accessing, by at least one processor, threat information relating to at least one potential threat against at least one vehicle during a mission, the threat information comprising threat location information indicative of at least one likely location for the at least one potential threat, the threat information further comprising at least one model associated with the at least one potential threat; prior to commencing the mission, using, by the at least one processor, the threat information to assign a numerical measure to each potential action of a plurality of potential actions for the at least one vehicle, the numerical measure being based at least in part on at least one measure of the at least one vehicle resulting from executing the potential action, wherein the at least one measure is determined based at least in part on the at least one likely location of the at least one potential threat and the at least one model associated with the at least one potential threat; comparing, by the at least one processor, the plurality of potential actions based at least in part on the respective numerical measures assigned to the plurality of potential actions, thereby generating a comparison result; and selecting, by the at least one processor, one or more actions to be executed by the at least one vehicle, the one or more actions being selected from the plurality of potential actions based at least in part on the comparison result.
