Survivability & Vulnerability Engineering

Bionetics offers our clients extensive Survivability/Vulnerability (S/V) capabilities. With over two decades of service to the Navy and U.S. Air Force, Bionetics has established a DoD-wide and international reputation for S/V analysis and methodology development for Aircraft Survivability (AS) and Munitions Effectiveness (ME) programs. We have provided S/V services on multiple military aircraft and surface vehicles. Aircraft expertise includes antisubmarine aircraft; fighter and attack aircraft; utility aircraft; and attack, scout, transport, and heavy-lift helicopters; and UAVs. Surface targets studied include tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks, electronic vans, tracked missile-launch vehicles, ground-launched sites, guns, structures, bunkers, parked aircraft, and personnel targets.

These air and surface vehicles have been evaluated against weapons including controlled and uncontrolled fragments; non-explosive, high explosive and incendiary projectiles; shaped charges; internal and external blast; multiple-fragment effects; and lasers.

Bionetics is also a major contributor to the development and ongoing improvement of the Computation of Vulnerability and Repair Time (COVART) vulnerability software programs currently owned and operated by DoD.
