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.
