Christman E.C. The effect of system design characteristics on first round hitting probability of tank fired projectiles

Report. — Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland: Ballistic research laboratories, 1959. — 40 p.Graphs showing the first round probability of hitting a stationary vertical 7.5' by 7.5' (2,1336*2,1336 m) target under quasi-combat conditions are presented for a wide range of conventional tank armament system characteristics. These results provide a way of rapidly estimating the first round hitting capabilities of various systems and are used in studying the relative effect of various projectile and fire control design parameters.AbstractGeneral approach
