Handbook for the Analysis of Engagements with Mobile Targets
Abstract
This document describes a methodology and provides the data required for a realistic analysis of a mobile target engagement. For this report a mobile target is defined both as a target that moves nearly continuously (such as a tank company) and as one that moves only occasionally (such as an artillery battery or command post). Specifically, this manual provides a means of estimating the probability that a target is still present at an observed location as a function of time from the observation where the time the target stopped is unknown. With this methodology targets can then be evaluated not only on the basis of expected fractional coverage as in the manuals, but also on the basis of whether there is an adequate likelihood that they will still be present when a weapon arrives.
