Abstract:

Two measures of firepower performance in relation to guns are fire rate and hit probability. Fire rate is related to the stabilisation time of the combat vehicle. The lower the stabilisation time, the faster the fire rate becomes. Hit probability is a function of many error budgets. In this paper, we simulate two cases. In the first case, when a combat vehicle is driving over a speed bump, the stabilisation time is measured. The second simulation is concerned with the relationship between hit probability and impulse forces applied to the gun mounted on the combat vehicle. The combat vehicle is modelled as a full car with arms. Quantification of stabilisation time and the relationship between impulse forces and hit probability proved to be good sources for enhancing firepower performance through improved fire rate and hit probability. We use an engineering method for error estimates, and we use the Monte Carlo method for hit probability prediction.
