Research on availability simulation of antiaircraft gun weapon systems

Abstract

A simulation method that uses discrete event simulation for availability evaluation of antiaircraft gun weapon systems is presented based on the distribution characteristic of the RMS time of antiaircraft gun weapon systems. The simulation method can overcome the disadvantages of the analytic method, and can evaluate the availability of complex weapon systems, while RMS time follows any distribution. In the example, the availability of the antiaircraft gun weapon system is evaluated based on the simulation method presented in this paper. The example illuminated that the method is effective for availability evaluation of antiaircraft gun weapon systems.
