New PoKER model uses ML to estimate missile kill probability

A new machine learning model named PoKER has been developed to estimate the probability of kill for air-to-air missiles. This model goes beyond traditional methods by integrating the stochastic behaviors of targets and missile miss distances to provide more accurate predictions. PoKER considers factors like warhead lethality, target and shooter orientations, and engagement conditions to quantify success probabilities, offering potential improvements for Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air combat decision-making. AI

IMPACT This model could enhance decision-making in air combat by providing more accurate kill probability estimates.
