"There goes the neighborhood''


''Transient non-linear dynamics calculations are carried out to investigate the interactions between a warhead and four different urban targets under different engagement distances and obliquity angles. The results of the calculations are used to guide the design and the development of a smart warhead-fuze which is capable of discriminating between hard targets (e.g. triple-layer brick wall, a light-weight vehicle), soft targets (e.g. an earth and timber bunker), and an urban target (a light-clad domestic building). Robustness of the present approach has been investigated using a statistical sensitivity analysis.''
