MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND FOR EVALUATION OF AA FIRING TESTS
June 1, 1974
Comparisons of the accuracy and effectiveness of AA fire as controlled by various directors can be made only if suitable measures of effectiveness can be defined. This study suggests some measures of effectiveness which may be calculated from the results of firing tests with 5-inch non-fragmenting VT-fuzed ammunition against drones making various types of approach runs, and which are suitable in comparing directors. This study also shows what data must be recorded in order to compute these quantities and develops formulas and methods of computation. See also 10 000260, 10 000261, and 10 000262.
