Abstract

Stochastic assessment of multiple illuminations (SAMI) is a quantifiably robust hand calculator model which uses applied probability theory to yield the mean and standard deviation of beam-on-beam illumination events for a target located in an active threat sensor environment. The electromagnetic wave front arrival model predicts simultaneous illuminations of a target by using the mechanical properties of a radar type as inputs into a mathematically defensible and situation sensitive formula. The SAMI methodology can be recursively applied to yield the same results for pulse-on-pulse occurrences within the beam-on-beam events
