Variability of Measures of Weapons Effectiveness. Volume 3. Application to Fragment Sensitive Targets in the Presence of Delivery Error.

Abstract

The problem of computing the uncertainty associated with the probability of kill due to fragmentation in the presence of aiming error and in the presence of blast is considered. It is assumed that the damage due to fragmentation can be approximated by two-parameter Carleton damage function. The aiming error in the delivery of the weapon is assumed to be Gaussian and independent in each of the range and deflection directions.
