Effects of Release Interval for Stick Bombing on Probability of Kill

Abstract

This report presents the effect, on the probability of kill, of decreasing the minimum release interval for sticks of Mk 82, 83, and 84 low-drag bombs. The effectiveness of a reduced minimum release interval is discussed as related to aiming error, quantity and type of bombs in the stick, and pairs versus singles releases. THE METHODOLOGY EMPLOYED IN THE PROBABILITY OF KILL CALCULATIONS IS EXPLAINED.
