I am looking for a bomber survivability study that was available online maybe a decade ago. All I get now from searching is Abraham Wald and survivorship bias. There is a study entitled bomber survivability study or something like that. That one no longer comes up on search engines. I am not looking for that one. I am looking for the one that has a graph that shows bomber survivability as a function of speed and altitude and discusses speed vs stealth. If I recall correctly, the study also looks at what RCS-speed combinations are survivable.

While the above may be vague, it is obvious to me that there is no better place to ask for this assistance. I am sure that one or more of the people here read the study and remember(s) it, I just hope they see this post.
 
Is it a Cold War era study or later than that can I ask?
 
Grey Havoc: 21st Century.

Flateric: That may be it, I remember the graphic looking different but conveying the same information.

I found these:

Thesis with graphics

I believe what I am looking for is entitled : "The Value of Speed/Altitude and Signature for Survivability". This is no longer available.

Thank you for finding the closest thing to it. It was only a little over an hour. That is impressive.

I'm currently researching stealth bomber survivability and I'm looking for some insight into potential study questions. Specifically, I'm interested in exploring factors that impact their effectiveness and safety during missions. What are some key areas or questions you think should be addressed in a comprehensive study? For example, should the focus be on radar evasion technology, countermeasure effectiveness, or operational tactics? Any suggestions or resources that could guide my research would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

The study I linked is one. Another thing to read is called "the Radar Game" by Rebecca Grant. The Value of Speed/Altitude and Signature for Survivability is also excellent but has disappeared from search engine results. You also need to look at SIOP plans that have been released as this gives an idea of operational factors. For example, why did they want the B-1A when it was not that survivable? It carried 3X the payload of a B-52, therefore reducing the need for tankers.
