A Development and Comparative Analysis of Two Models for Air Defense Gun System Burst Kill Probability

Abstract

The study describes two models for the computation of burst kill probabilities for air defense gun systems firing non-fragmenting projectiles at non-maneuvering aircraft targets. The models are contrasted in development to demonstrate the strengths, weaknesses and relative merits of each. The Weapons Command model appeared to be based on a less restrictive set of assumptions than the BDM model, but sample results showed near equivalence in model Burst Kill Probability values throughout a reasonable range of engagement conditions.
