| Kill probability was formerly used as an indicator for the "electronic facility--weapon" conflict interaction. These systems have much lower hit and kill probability than what is suggested in the LCol Summerfield's article: direct fire engagements are limited to 1000 m as rounds have muzzle velocity of only 410 to 480 m/s (dispersion), they have no stabilization for firing on the move and cannot calculate lead angles to engage moving targets. Each step in the calculations involves choosing one system facility which achieves the maximum value of the indicator "structural significance by kill probability product. |
