The Effect of Shape of Aircraft Vulnerable Area and Probability of Kill for an Antiaircraft Artillery Simulation Model.

摘要

An investigation is made to determine the effect of object shape on the calculation of 26view vulnerable areas from six orthogonal views by the geometric projection method. Errors in vulnerable area are found for a parallelepiped, a pyramid, a cone, a cylinder, a sphere, a combination of these bodies,and two aircraft shapes -the OV-10and the A-10. The POO1 Antiaircraft Artillery Simulation Computer Program is used to determine probability of kill variation due to errors in vulnerable areas of the aircraft shapes. Errors in vulnerable area for the geometric bodies vary from 0% to 70% of actual area depending on the object and view. Vulnerable area variations average 6% of actual vulnerable area for the OV-10, 13% for the A-10computer model,and 14% for the A-10aircraft. (Modified author abstract)
