Scale-Description

The AHES aims to quantify hazardous events based on two key parameters:
Severity – How dangerous or harmful the event is to individuals, equipment, or the mission.
Likelihood – How likely the event is to occur under certain conditions.
This data enables the categorization of incidents, the creation of reports, and the development of measures to improve safety. These scales are integrated into risk analysis systems used to manage safety in military operations.

Data Analysis and Use

The data collected through the AHES can be analyzed in several ways:
Incident Frequency Analysis: What incidents occur most frequently and under what conditions.
Severity Analysis: Which incidents have the greatest impact on the mission or safety.
Predictive Analysis: Predictions of possible future incidents based on historical data.
Risk Mitigation Strategies: Development of strategies to avoid or address identified hazardous events.
This data is usually utilized by military risk analysts, safety officers, and leadership to enhance the safety and effectiveness of operations.

Purpose

The primary objective of using the AHES is to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment by reducing the risks associated with military operations. This is achieved through:
Risk assessment of existing hazards.
Improving safety procedures.
Training and developing strategies to manage the identified risks.

Calibration

The calibration of the AHES is done using statistical methods and qualitative analysis tools to ensure that the collected data is representative and accurate. Calibration may include:
Comparative analysis with other risk assessment scales.
Ongoing evaluation and adjustment of the scale based on new experiences and data from actual operations.
Recalibration of the scale to meet modern requirements and the new conditions of military operations.
