Strategic Objectives
• Master the thermodynamics of rapid material ablation and melting.
• Calculate precise time-on-target requirements for diverse materials.
• Understand the failure mechanics of composites, ceramics, and metals.
• Predict lethality with scientific accuracy using advanced damage laws.
The Core Challenge
Traditional ballistic models fail when faced with high-energy laser and particle beam interactions, leaving a gap in predicting true structural failure.
