WEAPON PATTERN EFFECTIVENESS III, CNA COMPUTER PROGRAM 19-69,

Abstract

A Monte Carlo simulation program has been written to compute hit probabilities of a pattern of weapons against a maneuvering target. The aimpoint is specified, and a bivariate normal aiming error is assumed for the weapon pattern; individual weapons in the pattern are assumed to have bivariate (ballistic) dispersion errors. Target initial velocity, time spent in a straight leg, turning radius, and time spent in the turn are specified, and a normal distribution of errors is assumed for these parameters. Effects of target acceleration are included. Flow charts, program listing, and sample inputs and outputs are provided. (Author)
