Predicted Effect of Projectile Dispersion on Target Hit Probabilities and Dispersion-Zone Sizes for the 25-mm Gun of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle

Abstract

This research note presents the mathematical analysis used to predict the effect of varied levels of projectile dispersion on a) dispersion-zone size, and b) hit probabilities for targets engaged with the 25-MM gun of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. This provides critical background information on issues such as accuracy criteria for zeroing, maximum effective engagement ranges, and the training aids used to illustrate the effects of dispersion.
