BATTLEFIELD SIMULATION FOR FIRST ROUND ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS OF SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE FIRINGS.

Abstract

The tactical situation of determining the minimum accuracy requirements of simultaneous multiple firings on a single target has been interpreted to be damage assessment or area coverage effected on a circular target. All rounds were assumed to have the same aim point with the centers of impact of each pattern distributed independently of all other patterns. The complexity of a precise mathematical analysis dictated use of a stochastic model. This required the design and development of an electronic Battlefield Simulator. The output from the simulator has been reduced to a family of curves from which the probabilities of target coverage could be determined for a given set of parameters. (Author)
