Limitations of the R. M. S. Criterion for Fire Control.
Abstract
An important class of target maneuvers is considered that represents random hard maneuvers. This class of maneuvers is eminently non-Gaussian and is not amenable to the usual r.m.s. analysis that is the basis of Wiener's and Kalman's prediction theories. In cases of practical interest, the use of a criterion not based on the r.m.s. criterion can give an order of magnitude improvement in kill probability over the use of the r.m.s. criterion. (Author)
