Rocket-Propelled Grenade Engagement Model

Acronym:  RPGEM

RPGEM is a one-vs.-one tool for simulating the flight of rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) fired at rotorcraft.  It determines the flight path of an RPG between the shooter and the target.  In addition to modeling individual shots, RPGEM also has a Monte Carlo capability for determining probability of hit for the RPG within a given scenario.  The tool includes several prebuilt NGIC-approved RPG flight models and a simulated artificial gunner model to account for the effects of imperfect aiming.  It can also be used to determine the susceptibility of rotorcraft to RPGs to support a range of studies.
