Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This Program Element (PE) funds activities and functions to conduct objective and integrated survivability and lethality analyses (SLA) for all major and designated non-major Army systems. The analyses quantify the effects of electronic warfare (EW), ballistic, nuclear, chemical, and biological battlefield threats and meteorological conditions on Army individual soldiers and systems. The work is accomplished through threat research, theoretical and engineering analyses, signature measurements, modeling, simulations, laboratory experiments, and field investigations. Activities in progress include assessment of the effects of smokes and obscurants, passive countermeasures, tactics, lasers, high-power microwave, electro-optical/radio frequency (EO/RF) jammers, electromagnetic environment effects (E3), information warfare (IW), decoys, conventional ballistics and nuclear/biological/chemical (NBC) effects on Army soldiers and systems. The PE work efforts provide U.S. Army decision makers, materiel and combat developers, system users, and independent evaluators critical soldier and system survivability analyses that quantify the soldier/system's survivability effectiveness in battlefield threat environments. Recommendations are provided to the materiel and combat developers on how to mitigate soldier/system deficiencies and enhance their survivability. This PE funds civilian salaries, travel, development and maintenance of equipment and facilities, general management, administrative and contractor support required for program execution. This effort is conducted by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Survivability/Lethality Analysis Directorate (SLAD) . This PE supports Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), Program Executive Offices (PEOs), Program Managers (PMs), and independent evaluators with EW, chemical, biological, nuclear, and ballistic expertise to conduct special studies, support Test Integration Working Groups (TIWG) and program reviews, review acquisition documentation, provide government testers with technical support, and support milestone decision reviews; and is appropriately funded in Budget Activity 6.
NOTE: This PE is restructured effective FY 1996 to provide management visibility for survivability/lethality projects and retain funds in a single PE.
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: Project D267 - Air Defense/Missile Defense System Vulnerability: Provides the survivability/lethality analysis of U.S. Army air defense and missile defense systems to the full spectrum of battlefield threats and recommends fixes to improve their battlefield survivability. The results are used by each Project Manager (PM) and the Program Executive Officer (PEO) to direct weapon system development efforts and structure product improvement programs; by the user to develop doctrine and tactics; and by decision makers in formulating program/production decisions. Beginning in FY 1996 the work and funds are restructured to Projects D670 and D671 within this PE.
FY 1995 Accomplishments:
| 2956 | Conducted EWVA of U.S. Army air defense systems including PATRIOT, Stinger-RMP, Avenger, Corp SAM, HAWK, GBS, and MRSR. | |
| 1559 | Conducted EWVA of U.S. Army missile defense systems including THAAD, ERINT, and GBR. | |
| 808 | Conducted ballistic susceptibility/vulnerability/lethality analyses of U.S. Army air defense/missile defense systems. | |
| 2030 | Provided EWVA and ballistic modeling and simulation support for survivability/vulnerability/lethality analysis of U.S. Army air defense/missile defense systems. | |
| 557 | Developed necessary SLV analyses, methodologies, capabilities and techniques to ensure soldier survivability. | |
| Total | 7910 |
FY 1996 Planned Program: Beginning in FY 1996 work and funds restructured to Projects D670 and D671 within this PE.
FY 1997 Planned Program: Beginning in FY 1996 work and funds restructured to Projects D670 and D671 within this PE.

The results are used by each Project Manager (PM) and the Program Executive Officer (PEO) to direct weapon system development efforts and structure product improvement programs; by the user to develop doctrine and tactics; and by decision makers in formulating program/production decisions. ARM Counter-Arm efforts assess threat technologies against Theater Missile Defense (TMD), PATRIOT, JSTARS, Corp SAM/Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS), and FAAD-C21 ground based sensors. Also funds salaries, travel, equipment/facilities, and management/administrative support needed to execute the program.
FY 1995 Accomplishments: Work in this area performed in other projects in this PE. Restructured to this project in FY 1996.
