The Distribution of Submunition Arrival Times

Abstract

In assessing the effectiveness of an artillery volley using improved conventional munitions (ICM) in a situation where the personnel in the target area may react to seek protective cover, one must consider both the distribution of arrival time of submunitions in the target area and the reaction time distribution for the target personnel. A methodology is devised to quantitatively address the first of these sources of variability. This methodology is then applied to several specific fuze-munition configurations.
