Abstract

This presentation provides a brief overview of Model-assisted Probability of Detection (MAPOD), plus a historical perspective of MAPOD. This includes work by the MAPOD Working Group, sponsored by the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), National Astronautics and Space Agency (NASA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), that included multiple voluntary contributors from industry, national laboratories, and academia. Representative examples are described to address the two major classes of MAPOD which are transfer functions and full model-assisted POD. A US Air Force (USAF) example of the use of transfer functions is described in detail and the inclusion of MAPOD in the latest revision of MIL HDBK 1823A is discussed.
