The fundamentals of aircraft combat survivability analysis and design/ written by Robert E. Ball.-2nd ed.p. cm.-(AIAA education series) Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN 1-56347-582-0 (Hardcover : alk. paper) 1.
This paper describes a conceptual structure of ship survivability definitions and concepts and deals with the need to incorporate a total‐ship approach to surface ship combat survivability as part of the philosophy used to guide a ship's design. Included are:
* A discussion of the increasing emphasis placed on ship survivability during the ship system development process.
* Definitions of the different aspects of ship survivability, in order to suggest a coordinated and coherent understanding of their relationships.
* A discussion of the value of making survivability considerations an integral part of the ship design philosophy, to ensure a requirements‐based systems approach to all of the ship's required attributes, including survivability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
