The ability to discriminate between a potential target and a decoy is 3 s( X S* `8 p& M p+ xquantified by a “K” factor, in which the higher the numeric the greater the probability of discrimination (thus, a “0” K factor implies that the target is indistinguishable from the decoy). / k, K, n) I" Y) fProbability of False Alarm (1) For a single sensor this is the probability that an object will be detected when no object is present. (2) For discrimination, this is the probability that an object, which is not a threatening object will be identified as one. # `2 G4 Z! t9 W8 F; R7 {Probability of Kill The lethality of a weapon system. Generally refers to armaments (i.e. missiles, ordnance, etc.) Usually the statistical probabilities that the weapon will detonate close enough to the target with enough power to disable the target.
