This paper reviews the generationand Interrogation of solid geometric models as well a diverse set of performance-related applicationscodes. Examples of geometric modeling of armored fighting vehicles are given; In addition, variousapplications codes Including vulnerability, signature (optlcal/IR/MMW), neutron transport, andstructural analysis are Illustrated. Such modeling and analytical methods are critical for 1evaluating the benefits and burdens of design options, 21 supplying necessary Measures-of-Performance for battlefield modeling, and 3) supporting and complementing the field testing ofweapons systems.
