This thesis presents the methodology for a detailed vulnerability assessment of a generic aircraft in the conceptual/preliminary design stage. The single hit vulnerability of the aircraft to a 100 grain fragment is determined using the textbook, The Fundamentals of Aircraft Combat Survivability Analysis and Design. The intent of this work is to provide a realistic case study of a vulnerability assessment that can be used by others as a learning tool. Keywords: Aircraft conceptual design, combat survivability, aircraft vulnerability assessment.

From infant car seats to the design of aircraft cargo bay structures that can withstand bomb blasts, the government is taking the lead in survivability standards. The extensively illustrated new edition of this book presents the fundamentals of the aircraft combat survivability design discipline as defined by the DoD military standards and acquisition processes.

Survivability, capability, maintainability, and reliability will establish the effectiveness of a combat aircraft. Considerations for the 'ilities' must take place during the conceptual design phase. Retrofit of survivability enhancement has historically increased weight, drag, and cost, while decreasing capability and performance. Proper application of the six susceptibilty reduction concepts and the six vulnerability reduction concepts must take place before the design is established to maximize effectiveness and minimize penalties. In this thesis, the application of survivability enhancement techniques to the conceptual design is presented in general and also specifically applied to the design of a long range Strike Fighter aircraft. General guidelines for susceptibility and vulnerability reduction for any aircraft are also presented. (Author).

The Joint Aircraft Survivability Program (JASP) recently completed a successful Aircraft Combat Survivability Short Course hosted by the Boeing Company in Seattle, WA, on 11-13 July 2006. The course was sponsored by the JASP with key participation and support from the Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis Center (SURVIAC). This was the third course offered over the past four years. Previous courses were held in Williamsburg, VA, and Dayton, OH. Seventy-five people attended the course where the highlight was a visit to the expanded Boeing Museum of Flight followed by dinner in the museum's View Lounge. The course was held at the Secret Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals/Governments /Non-U S Citizens (NOFORN) classification level. The course agenda included all aspects of the survivability discipline, including susceptibility reduction, vulnerability reduction, and survivability modeling and simulation. The Joint Live Fire program and Joint Combat Assessment Team were also covered. A CD of all presentations and the materials provided at the course will be provided to each attendee. The JASP plans to offer this course annually as an outreach and educational service to the aircraft survivability community.
