A Plan for Developing and Validating a Gun System Design Trade-Off Methodology.

Abstract

Procedures are described for validating a Helicopter Weapon Simulation Model (HWSSM) using data collected from Army's recent Air-to-Air Self Defense Test (AASDT), and for integrating the HWSSM with a gun system sizing model to compute system weight as a function of the basic performance parameters. These parameters include firing interval, probability-of-hit or probability-of-kill, the types of engagements, and the number of engagements of each type per mission. These procedures will provide the Army with an overall methodology for conducting airborne gun system design tradeoff studies. (Author)
