A mission planning method for use with a weapon is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a first training data set describing the performance of the weapon; using the first training data set and a Gaussian Process (GP) or Neural Network to obtain a first surrogate model giving a functional approximation of the performance of the weapon; and providing the first surrogate model to a weapons system for use in calculating a performance characteristic of the weapon during combat operations.
A mission planning method for use with a weapon, the method comprising the steps of:
A weapons system comprising a processor programmed with software configured to calculate a performance characteristic of a weapon of the weapons system during combat operations using a functional approximation of the performance of the weapon, said functional approximation comprising a surrogate model produced using a Gaussian Process, the Gaussian process comprising using a covariance function to calculate a set of hyper-parameters and a set of weighted values.
A computer software product for loading onto a processor associated with a weapons system, wherein the software product is configured to calculate a performance characteristic of a weapon of the weapons system during combat operations using a functional approximation of the performance of the weapon, said functional approximation comprising a surrogate model produced using a Gaussian Process, the Gaussian process comprising using a covariance function to calculate a set of hyper-parameters and a set of weighted values.
