Lethality evaluation tests of anti-armor missile systems require flight-test of tactical missiles against threat targets under highly controlled impact conditions. Variables such as terminal dive angle, impact velocity, missile orientation at impact, hit-point on the target, and shot-line through the target all must be carefully controlled and documented to properly evaluate and analyze the damage caused and extrapolate this data to other impact conditions. Development missile systems have difficulty achieving control of the impact conditions at early stages in the program due to immature or nonexistent missile guidance technologies and hardware.
