Multi-Temporal Analysis of Underbody IED Theater Events on Ground Vehicles

Recently, modeling and simulation (M&S) engineers have made impressive strides in improving ground vehicle reliability and soldier safety. This work involved live-fire testing and evaluation (LFT&E) of the effects of underbody improvised explosive device (IED) blasts on moving ground vehicles. A multi-fidelity, multi-temporal M&S methodology was developed and successfully applied towards reconstruction of theater IED events.
