WEAPON PATTERN EFFECTIVENESS I. OEG COMPUTER PROGRAM 17-63P,

Abstract

A computer program is described which uses a Monte Carlo simulation to compute the probability of destroying a rectangular or line target with salvos, sticks or patterns of weapons. It is considered that the weapons are delivered with a bivariate normal aiming error and that the individual rounds are distributed with bivariate normal ballistic dispersions. The conditional kill probabilities of individual weapons are taken into account. Flow charts, a listing of the FORTRAN program and a sample problem are included. (Author)
