Abbreviated Definition: The ability to be mission capable after an encounter with a hostile threat Requirements for UAS survivability will morph and grow as their applicability transitions from a “wingman” perspective to a “point” position. UAS...
Background Protecting crew occupants has always been the primary concern for vehicle survivability design. The historical approach to maximizing survivability was to protect the occupants by considering what conventional threat impacts the vehicle...
SURVICE Monograph 15-001 Critical to combat system survivability analysis is the ability to estimate the effects of threat-target interactions. However, this ability is particularly challenging given the inherent variability in the fundamental...
SURVICE Monograph 13-001 The use of large explosive charges—whether in the form of military mines or improvised explosive devices (IEDs)—detonated under ground combat systems has long been a source of concern for those responsible for developing...
SURVICE leverages three decades of combat survivability experience, coupled with a unique blend of DoD, military vehicle manufacturer, and armor supplier relationships, to provide our customers with extensive armor knowledge and capabilities. We...

SURVICE supports DoD and commercial agencies with all aspects of their E3 and SM life-cycle requirements. This support includes vast experience in inter- and intra-system electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC), shipboard effects...
SURVICE specializes in the survivability and effectiveness of land, air, and sea vehicle systems used by the Defense industry. Finite element models are built to demonstrate the ability of a system, from its individual components to its combined...
The Fire Prediction Model (FPM) is a tool designed to assist analysts in simulating fire ignition, sustainment, and suppression for aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles. FPM is the primary physics-based fire simulation model in use for vehicle...
SURVICE Fire Works (SFW) is a dedicated team within the SURVICE Engineering Company that is equipped with the tools and expertise to better understand, assess, test, and mitigate the fire threat to military and commercial platforms and facilities. We...
Building on 27 years of fixed-wing survivability experience, SURVICE can provide complete support, from concept to fielding and beyond. We support all aspects of vulnerability analyses, from model generation, to design analysis of alternatives, to...
Proper understanding and assessment of ground mobile combat system vulnerability are critical to improving system survivability, thereby enhancing mission success and personnel survivability in combat. The SURVICE Engineering Company uses its...
In response to the need identified by the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) to integrate survivability operational test results with live fire test and evaluation, the SURVICE Engineering Company developed the Integrated Survivability...
Lightning strikes are a normal occurrence, but they can be potentially devastating, especially when impacting an aircraft or other combat system in operation. The SURVICE Engineering Company has more than two decades of experience and capability in...
The analytical method developed by the SURVICE Engineering Company addresses the particular needs of evaluating the survivability of a networked combat system. It uses the concept of dynamic fault trees to represent the network as it changes to adapt...
When estimating the lethality of an RF DEW or to harden/protect U.S. military systems and infrastructure from an adversary’s RF DEW, SURVICE determines how much RF energy is required on the target to produce an effect (i.e., system susceptibility...
It is critically important that today’s modern weapon systems demonstrate good reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) characteristics. Poor system RAM has a profound impact on mission performance and effectiveness, survivability...
Within the Department of Defense (DoD), test and evaluation (T&E) is the process by which a system is assessed for its capabilities and limitations and evaluated for it’s effectiveness, suitability and surviabiity in a mission contect through testing...
TurboPK is a fast, powerful computer survivability/vulnerability analysis program that is used to simulate and analyze kinetic energy (KE) weapons effects, including armor-piercing projectiles, fragments from exploding munitions, and air blast. The...
On 28 March 2013, SURVICE dedicated the main conference room at its Aberdeen Area Operation to Don Mowrer, an aircraft survivability pioneer, long-time Government leader, and former SURVICE Vice President who passed away on 2 November 2012. During
The 45th Armament Symposium Objectives include: Two-day interchange for senior DoD, Service and industry leadership to identify and share opportunities for DoD's armament innovation and discuss current and planned armament development modernization
