![]() The primary software application in the VTK is the Computation of Vulnerable Area Tool (COVART) however, the toolkit also includes a number of other tools that are useful for conducting vulnerability & lethality studies. The software applications included in the toolkit were selected to handle threat analyses using a variety of methodologies. Regarding threats, the software applications in the toolkit can model projectiles (e.g., ball rounds, armor-piercing rounds, armor-piercing incendiary rounds, high explosive rounds, etc.), missile fragments, shaped-charge jets, and missiles. ![]() Primarily, the toolkit supports analyses of Air Force and Navy fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, but it has also supported assessments of ground systems, small boats, and even orbital vehicles. The VTK can support analyses for a range of systems and a range of ballistic threats. The primary objective of the software application provided with the toolkit is to help the analyst determine the probability of kill (P k) for a system of interest given a particular ballistic threat impact. The primary purpose for the toolkit is to provide a “one-stop-shop” for ballistic vulnerability & lethality analysis, by providing analysts with the necessary tools required to perform pre-test predictions, concept evaluations, trade studies, and requirements verification studies. It contains multiple modeling and analytical tools to include BRL-CAD, COVART, FASTGEN, and FATEPEN. The Vulnerability Toolkit, or VTK, is a suite of software tools that supports the performance of ballistic vulnerability and lethality studies involving military systems.
