STUDIES IN THE METHODOLOGY OF WEAPONS SYSTEMS EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS - USING THE ' TECHNIQUES OF SIMULATION, OPTIMIZATION AND STATISTICS - PHASE II - Volume IV FORMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF WARHEAD KILL PROBABILITIES

摘要

The work conducted at Louisiana State University on a class of prob¬lems arising in the evaluation of weapons and in the analysis of the best methods for their use is reported. The destructiveness of a specified weapon against a specified target is measured by the ratio of the number of targets destroyed to the number of weapons used.nThis report describes the methods developed for the analytical eval¬uation of average kill probabilities for single weapons and proposes the optimization of pattern parameters for multi-weapon attacks on discretely defined target complexes for future investigation.
