Methodology for Estimating Smoke/Obscurant Munition Expenditure Requirements.

摘要

Methodologies have been developed and, where possible, implemented in computer programs for estimating smoke munition expenditure requirements under a broad range of operational conditions. The techniques are based on idealized geometries and simplifying assumptions which are expected to overestimate requirements by an undeterminable margin. Validation of the estimates is desirable but has not been attempted. The techniques are designed to be used with any smoke-effect simulation model capable of providing information on effective screen size as a function of time. (Author)
