Variability of Measures of Weapons Effectiveness. Volume 1. Methodology and Application to Fragment Sensitive Targets in the Absence of Delivery Error

Abstract

The problem of computing the uncertainty with the probability of kill when using the two-parameter Carleton damage function is considered. It is assumed that the input parameters are not exactly, and that the measure of uncertainty in these parameters is given. Two types of estimation procedures are used: the Taylor's series estimation procedure and a subjective estimation procedure. Two inferential estimation procedures are also discussed.
