Project Thor. Presented Areas of an Average Prone Chinese Infantryman

Abstract

For evaluation of weapons used against Personnel, the average presented area of a typical Chinese infantryman prone on the ground is given as a function of the angle of arrival of fragment or bullet. World War I dimensions of the average United States infantryman were scaled by a relative stature factor to represent those of the average Chinese infantryman. Some applications of the results are suggested.
