Course Fee Purpose: System Engineering course fees partially offset costs including enterprise software used in foundational courses and the program’s INCOSE Academic Equivalency.
Description: This course will introduce physics and statistics-based methods and commonly used damage functions for weapon lethality, probability of successfully attacking targets, target vulnerability, and arrival conditions of weapons. Topics include, deterministic methods, Monte Carlo simulations, the Carleton damage function, the cookie cutter function, blast damage function, weapon trajectory, and the limitations of lethality of a particular target/weapon pairing.
