Numerical Calculation Method of Target Damage Effectiveness Evaluation under Uncertain Information of Warhead Fragments

Abstract

In order to scientifically evaluate the target damage effectiveness when warhead fragments formed by projectile explosion attack targets, this paper proposes a new method by using the multi-layer warhead fragments distribution division mechanism to study an evaluation and calculation model of target damage effectiveness under uncertain information of warhead fragments. On the basis of the spatial relationship between projectile explosion position and target, we first analyze the target damage rules based on the target’s own vulnerability characteristics. Then we use the fuzzy prior probability theory to establish the membership function of the target damage factor and an evaluation model of the target damage grade, and use the stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis method to obtain the evaluation index value of the target damage level. Finally, considering the ratio between the effective area of the warhead fragment group attacking target and the area of target itself and the effective number and area ratio of warhead fragments penetrating target, we give a numerical calculation method of target damage effectiveness. Through simulation and calculation, the results show that when the distance between the projectile explosion position and the target is less than 7 m and the coordinate interval of the projectile flight direction is −2.5 m to 2.5 m, the damage probability of warhead fragments to the target is greater than 75%. When the weight of the damage factor of the target changes, the damage effectiveness of the target also changes, and this result is in accordance with the actual experiment, which verifies the rationality of the proposed mathematical model.
