This thesis presents four additions prepared for the textbook 'The Fundamentals of Aircraft Combat Survivability Analysis and Design' by Professor Robert E. Ball. A set of homework problems with solutions was developed for the textbook to provide the user with a means of measuring student progress. An index, a lexicon of terminology, and a formulary were also developed to enhance the usability of the textbook.

The Joint Aircraft Survivability Program (JASP) recently completed a successful Aircraft Combat Survivability Short Course hosted by the Boeing Company in Seattle, WA, on 11-13 July 2006. The course was sponsored by the JASP with key participation and support from the Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis Center (SURVIAC). This was the third course offered over the past four years. Previous courses were held in Williamsburg, VA, and Dayton, OH. Seventy-five people attended the course where the highlight was a visit to the expanded Boeing Museum of Flight followed by dinner in the museum's View Lounge. The course was held at the Secret Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals/Governments /Non-U S Citizens (NOFORN) classification level. The course agenda included all aspects of the survivability discipline, including susceptibility reduction, vulnerability reduction, and survivability modeling and simulation. The Joint Live Fire program and Joint Combat Assessment Team were also covered. A CD of all presentations and the materials provided at the course will be provided to each attendee. The JASP plans to offer this course annually as an outreach and educational service to the aircraft survivability community.

From infant car seats to the design of aircraft cargo bay structures that can withstand bomb blasts, the government is taking the lead in survivability standards. The extensively illustrated new edition of this book presents the fundamentals of the aircraft combat survivability design discipline as defined by the DoD military standards and acquisition processes.
