Computation of Vulnerable Area Tool
Acronym: COVART
COVART is the primary M&S tool provided with the Vulnerability Toolkit, and it is used to evaluate the vulnerability of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft to a wide range of ballistic threats. It is a fast-running tool that calculates the probability of target defeat given a threat impact or engagement. COVART is widely used in support of system development, specification compliance and Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E). The primary outputs of COVART are the probability of kill for a given encounter or a calculation of the vulnerable area of an aircraft for a given attack aspect.
