SURVICE ENGINEERING COMPANY*
SURVICE is able to offer customized support to each
client by integrating our core areas of competency.
In support of ground vehicle vulnerability assessment
efforts, a highly optimized code for modern desktop and
laptop CPU's has been developed and is currently being
implemented. The code, TurboPK, was developed by
SURVICE Engineering and exploits multicore, superscalar,
hyperthreaded and vectorized processes and is a
traditional “point-burst” endgame code that runs on
both Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms. This code
can be used to simulate and analyze weapon kinetic
energy and blast effects, including armor-piercing
projectiles, fragments, exploding munitions, and air blast.
Simultaneously, it is integrated within the traditional
design trade-off process that ultimately results in an
optimized ground vehicle as well as providing to the user
a rapid ability to determine the probability of kill (Pk) of a
system. While ensuring traceability to Department of
Defense and industry standard methodologies and
algorithms.
