Detection in the Presence of Nonuniform, Mixed Suppressive Fires,

Abstract

Suppression, as a concept, is given a simple operational explication through a 'single-round period of suppressive effect' which is associated with each projectile impacting in the vicinity of a combatant. During each such single-round period of suppressive effect, which commences at an indicator instant, the affected combatant is suppressed; at all other times that combatant is unsuppressed. A period of suppression for a combatant that is unsurpressed begins with an impact that produces a nonzero, single-round period of suppressive effect; and it ends when the affected combatant first thereafter becomes unsuppressed. Arbitrarily long random periods of suppression for the affected combatant may thus arise from overlap between consecutive single-round periods of suppressive effect.
