The Target Group Damage Assessment Method Based on the Damage Tree

In modern warfare, weapon systems usually take the form of target groups. The complex interrelation among individual targets within the target group brings significant challenges in determining strike objectives. Existing methods on the damage assessment of target groups usually consider independent targets, which lead to the low efficiency. To address this problem, we propose a damage assessment method based on the damage tree, which combines the overall tactical functionality to analysis the target group’s structural composition. We build the interrelationships among different sub-targets using the damage tree, and quantify the degree of damage to the weapon system by comprehensively comparing the changes in feature parameters. Finally, we illustrate our method using a defensive position case, and the results indicate that our method achieves accuracy and reliability.
