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 0 A* s7 y7 f& d$ y- rprobability of discrimination (thus, a “0” K factor implies that the target is . r, R2 s; }) e0 s l% `" W; H: Mindistinguishable from the decoy). / L: D" S1 b6 O7 NProbability of % C* J9 _' w9 b6 q# VFalse Alarm & u& v' A' F5 _% i: O' l1 }+ K(1) For a single sensor this is the probability that an object will be detected when no object is present. 3 d, V' h7 F3 f+ S5 O: `(2) For discrimination, this is the probability that an object, which is not a 4 p$ G l y!
