Threat Effects DVD 

The Threat Effects in Aircraft Combat Survivability documentary video project was funded by the Joint Aircraft Survivability Program Office (JASPO). This project substantially updates the material presented in the original Threat Effects…, released in 1986. This documentary uniquely presents the primary threat weapons to aircraft and the ballistic response or “effect” of an aircraft when hit by a threat. It contains combat and gun-camera footage and both lethality and survivability test analysis video, all of which are combined and edited to demonstrate the cause and effect relationship between threats and their effect on an aircraft on the battlefield. The benefits gained from using technologies in vulnerability reduction will further increase the viewers’ interest in, knowledge of, and appreciation for the survivability discipline.       

The response to the “Threat Effects in Aircraft Combat Survivability” DVD documentary developed by Robert E. Ball, Jr. has been overwhelming, swamping the JASPO with requests.  As a result, JASPO has arranged for DVD distribution through SURVIAC to send out the DVD.  Please send all future requests to SURVIAC.
