Overview of Reliability-Based Risk Assessment Methods and their Possible Application to Electronic Warfare Self-Protection Systems for Military Helicopters

Abstract

There are many uncertainties surrounding electronic warfare self-protection (EWSP) systems for military helicopters, from the design process to the operational management of the equipment. Besides the traditional qualitative analyses, more sophisticated and novel techniques, like the fuzzy theory-based method are coming to the fore. This article aims to show a few possible methods for risk assessment of electronic warfare self-protection systems for military helicopters.
