Probability of Discrimination This is the probability that an object, which is threatening will be correctly identified. The ability to discriminate between a potential target and a decoy is quantified by a “K” factor, in which the higher the numeric the greater the ' j0 Q! y4 K: U2 j# lprobability of discrimination (thus, a “0” K factor implies that the target is indistinguishable from the decoy). , N+ X7 l5 q7 I0 ~.
