Variability of Measures of Weapons Effectiveness. Volume 2. Application to Blast Sensitive Targets in the Absence of Delivery Error.

Abstract

The problem of computing the uncertainty associated with the probability of kill due to blast in the absence of weapon fragmentation and aiming error is considered. The damage function due to blast is assumed to be piecewise linear function of the distance between the blast point and the target point. Under the assumption that the input parameters are uniformly distributed, explict expressions are obtained for the expectation and variance of kill probability.
