A Research and Analysis Program of Studies on the Analysis of Weapon Effectiveness-Phase II Results. Volume II. Prediction of Aim Errors of Antiaircraft Artillery during Encounters with Aircraft.
Abstract
Using multiregression techniques on actual data, predictive relationships were developed for estimating aim errors associated with the firing of antiaircraft artillery during encounters with aircraft. The relationships, which include both deterministic components and stochastic components, were then used to predict aim errors for specific encounters and were compared with actual data. The results show that the computed aim error estimates behave much like actual data except at crossover (point of nearest approach of aircraft to the gun site). Actual aim errors at crossover are quite erratic and are usually larger than predicted by the relationships developed in this work. (Author)
