Burst Firing Systems and Their Fire Control Requirements

Abstract

This report describes the development and application of analytical techniques to assess the merits of aiming strategies for high rate of fire cannons. Results of the application of these techniques indicate that high rate of fire cannons can be made to be effective with lower levels of fire control or for similar levels of fire control, can have significantly higher hit probabilities than previously have been predicted.
