Study on Damage Effectiveness of Single Projectile of Small Caliber Anti-aircraft Gun Under Multi-error Constraints

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, the damage effectiveness of a single projectile of small caliber (30-35 mm) anti-aircraft gun under multi-error constraints is studied. Based on the known prior information of target motion and the dispersion mathematical model of prefabricated fragment warhead, under the constraints of fragment effective killing radius and target equivalent size, the fuze starting characteristic factor is introduced to establish the integrated model of fuze and warhead. Based on the Monte-Carlo method, the variation law of the damage effectiveness of a single projectile under the joint constraints of the gun firing angle error and the fuze fixed range error is analyzed. The simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is used to find the global optimal solution of the model. The optimal damage effectiveness of a single projectile under multi-error constraints is found. The results show that the damage effectiveness of single projectile is increased by 26.91% without changing the state of existing weapon and equipment.
