Evaluation of the Effectiveness Destruction of Fragmentation Ammunition Equipped with Proximity Detonators
Journal Title: Problemy Mechatroniki. Uzbrojenie, lotnictwo, inżynieria bezpieczeństwa - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In the paper there are described mathematically phenomenon of group targets. The criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the destruction are defined and then an algorithm of computer simulation is presented, which provided a basis for developing a computer program. Using this one was carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of various types of ammunition, firing conditions of manpower in the outdoor area. Evaluate the effectiveness of fragmentation destruction of artillery ammunition showed that increasing the efficiency of destruction is achieved by explosions at an altitude ranging between <3, 20> m, as a result of the shock fuse replacement on the proximity fuse.
