Abstract

The project Värdering av verkan, sårbarhet och risk (eng: Assessment of lethality, vulnerability and risk) is one of the projects within the research and development program Weapons and protection. The project started in 2023 and is planned to continue until the end of 2025, aiming to improve the methodologies to perform assessments of weapon lethality and target vulnerability. A specific designated field of work is human vulnerability, but the project covers all kinds of conventional warhead effects and all targets except submarines. Some of the fields of work this year has been:  Human vulnerability  Target description of a ship  Vulnerability studies of platforms in the design phase  Component kill criteria This summarising annual report gives short descriptions of work performed during the year, as well as a few examples of how the competence gained from this project has been used in other projects.
