Increasing transparency of modern warfare has brought serious challenges to the survival of missile launching vehicle on the battlefield. Around the launcher anti-damage ability of analysis and evaluation technology, the threat of damage and damage mechanism faced by launcher were analyzed, current research status of four types of damage (shock wave, kinetic energy, thermal, and electromagnetic) from the perspective of the application of anti-damage capability assessment were elaborated, and different damage types in the evaluation of anti-damage capability and application directions in the analysis were putted forward; based on the vulnerability analysis space theory, the development process of equipment vulnerability analysis was summarized. It was considered that the logical transfer relationship from physical space to performance space was the key to the vulnerability analysis of launchers at present. Research trends of vulnerability criteria were introduced from the physical criteria, performance criteria and classification criteria, and the key criteria for vulnerability of launchers was proposed. Research concept and the main problems faced by analytical methods of the anti-damage capability of the launcher were explicitly described. Research conclusions can provide references for the analysis and evaluate related research of the anti-damage capability of the missile launching vehicle.

In view of the problem that the current evaluation of the survivability of weapons and equipment is mainly statistical and lacks physical support, in order to establish the transmission relationship between the structural parameters and the protective performance of each component, the concept of invulnerability was proposed, and the invulnerability analysis method based on the limit damage and the invulnerability characterization method based on the generalized protection time were proposed. And through the index to the quantitative mechanism of combat missions, the task-oriented invulnerability evaluation method was proposed. Driving performance invulnerability was studied as an example. Results show that: the invulnerability analysis method based on the limit damage can realize the construction of physical transfer relation from physical space to performance space; the invulnerability characterization method based on the generalized protection time can reflect the comprehensive influence of amplitude distance and difficulty degree on invulnerability; the task-oriented invulnerability evaluation method can introduce operational mission requirements into invulnerability evaluation and reduce the influence of subjective weight assignment on evaluation results. Case analysis verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
