INTRODUCTION I Consider the problem of setting the fusing mechanism of warhead aboard a a ballistic missile in order to optimize the probability of destroying a target. The general problem as stated above becomes extremely complicated when one considers such things as missile in-flight failures, warhead failures, back-up fusing mechanisms employed, type of warhead and type of burst, distance from launcher to target (which will affect range and Azimuth errors), geodesic error, (i.e., to what degree of accuracy do we know the distance to target.) and more frustrating, the problem of , partial kills, i.e., the partial destruction of the target or a portion of the target for a period of time less than the duration of hostilities. In order to reduce the problem to something that can be handled, it will be convenient to cover briefly three topics: the concept of ballistic coefficient, the reflected (mach) wave phenomenon and the definite range law (cookie cutter) Ballistic Coefficient : For our purposes, we may think of the ballistic coefficient as a parameter which describes how much a re-entry vehicle will be affected by the atmosphere (see Fig. 1). It is proportional to the ratio of the weight of the vehicle to its area, i.e., the square of the maximum diameter (see Ref. 4); e.g., for a given area, an increase in weight will tend to 1 * 30 40 Range Fig. I — 50 to impact 60 (thousands 70 80 of ft) Trajectory contours for 10-deg re-entry angle "straighten" the trajectory whereas result in a decrease in weight will slower re-entry and thereby increase the time spent a in the gravitational field. The result will be a more curved trajectory. Mach Effect When : warhead is burst in the air close to ground (e.g., a 300 feet for a 1 KT warhead), there is a region of unusually high overpressures due to the merging of the incident and reflected waves (see Ref. the Mach Region. 1 and Fig 2). This region is known as Because of this the curves in Fig. 2 are not monotonic but have the unusual shape exhibited there. Definite Range Law : This is the "cookie-cutter" concept that is frequently used. Because of its simplicity it seems to give useful results for many objectives. A couple of examples should be sufficient for our purposes. Consider a point target in space at which we are firing jectile with a kill range of one mile. be at the center of a a pro- Imagine the target to sphere of radius one mile. If we detonate this weapon anywhere within the sphere we consider the target destroyed; anywhere outside the sphere is considered course, no weapon behaves in such a manner. a Of miss. "Partial kills" are generally the rule rather than the exception, and they are very difficult to quantify. convenience. The definite range law is a mathematical Presumably, this range can be regarded so that a controlled fraction of partial kills will be treated as misses 3 i 1.000 -3 r « 900 > > w 800 W H W u 700 o eoo s m w tr > 1 500 o K O w s 400 < m 300 a w o f 200 w 5 100 100 200 ' 300 400 500 600 700 800' 900 1,000 1,100 1,200 1,300 1,400 1.500 DISTANCE FROM GROUND ZERO (FEET) Figure 3.67a.

As another example consider Fig. 5. If we imagine at (0,0) and estimate that it takes about 20 P.S.I, a target of over- pressure for destruction, the 20 P.S.I, curve shown could be considered as a "cooker-cutter"; i.e., a burst just inside will destroy the target and one just outside will not. the following three In light of the above discussion, simplifying assumptions will serve as the basis of this paper: 1. The re-entry vehicle has a sufficiently high ballistic coefficient so that the trajectory may be assumed to be straight line in the neighborhood of the target. a Moreover, the vehicle is launched from a sufficiently great distance so that all possible paths may be assumed to be parallel in the neighborhood of the target. 2. The overpressure contours of Ref. are valid and the target damage is a 1 (and hence of Fig. 2) function of overpressure alone 3. A definite range law holds and 20 P.S.I, is necessary for destruction. The general objective is to select an optimum height of burst. Further examination of the problem reveals that some other parameters enter into the picture. The angle that the vehicle's trajectory makes with the surface can be selected in advance. There is an advantage to small angles since then the missiles are more difficult to detect (and hence defend against). Larger angles generally lead to higher kill FIGURE 3 DESTRUCTION ENVELOPE . The capability to vary this parameter will make probabilities. defense more difficult. burst point becomes a Given a trajectory angle, the optimum function of height of burst and aim point (intersection of the intended trajectory with the surface) Locating the target at (0,0,0) and using the Cartesian system wi th )(,= downrange distance Yx = crossrange distance A3= vertical and introducing parameters -0-= angle the trajectory makes with the surface S = distance from aim point M = intended height of burst the problem now may be stated: (see Fig. 3), Given-^ to target , choose the pair ( 5 , LK. ) so that the probability of target destruction is maximized. This paper must be viewed as problem outlined above. a pilot study for solving the It will be noted that a large amount of detailed work remains to be done in order to provide good answers The methods herein can serve as outlines and guides. One of the more important results is the development of graphical computation system using dividers, graphs of over- pressure functions and correction curves. Thus, the optimum solution may be obtained under operational conditions without the need of a digital computer. a The organization of the report is as follows: The mathe- matical model and nature of the problems of mathematical analysis are presented in section II. are described in section III. The computational problems The operational hand approxi- mations and corrective curves are given in section IV. The The Monte Carlo technique conclusions appear in section V. employed, along with the computer program, appear in Appendices A and B respectively. Appendix C contains a tabulation of the parameter values determined by the graphical method de- veloped in section IV. , II CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROBABILISTIC MODEL; MATHEMATICAL CHARACTER OF THE PROBLEM We have already introduced the coordinate system; the angle the trajectory makes with the surface; the intended height of burstM is actually a ; the aim point (5 , 0, 0). The trajectory random phenomenon and by assumption 1 can be characterized by the impact point and the incidence angle -Q~ . The actual height of burst is also subject to random errors. Thus, we let (Y^ , Y2 ) , be the random vector representing the impact point (X\ , X2 , X3 ) be the random vector representing the burst point A sample situation is given in Fig. 4. It is assumed that: Y]_,Y2has !• £ a circular normal distribution with mean vector and covariance matrix 0\, I , where I is the identity matrix. 2.

In the new system, equations (2.4) may be expressed as Geometrically, the problem now may be viewed as follows: a set B, choose a centering point ( J ,'-'•' ,/'0 Given so that the probability of B is maximized. All solutions of (2.6) are critical points which may be local maxima, minimum or saddle points. The nature of these points may be examined by means of second order derivatives.

The remaining part of (2.11) is a difficult question, however, and may require more specific in- formation about the set B. The set B plays a role in determining the number of critical points. For example, if B were sufficiently long dumbell a shaped region, there would be at least two solutions to (2.6). It would be interesting to examine the question of number of With this condition it may be critical points if B were convex. This contingency was not possible to show there is only one. examined since the set A (and hence B) is not convex. Since the set A is formed by rotation of Fig. X3 2 about the axis, it can be shown that (2. 12) ttfx n x -f (*, t ^ *, ) dx dxx { J/j - The same must be true in the transformed coordinate system, and it follows from (2.6) and (2.12) that (J , 0,iU) will be the center of gravity of the conditional probability density given (Y]_,Y2 ,Y3 ) belong to B (if (2.6)). 12 J and M are unique solutions of Ill COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEMS Computer techniques are required for the solution of the system of equations (2.4) , the examination of the critical points (2.11), and the determination of the optimum probability It was decided to use Monte Carlo of target destruction (2.2). techniques (see Appendix A) in this study, and the first step is to characterize the set A.

The signs of the determinants (2.11) were computed at the solution values and all were found to be positive. 16 ACTUAL BURST X, FIGURE 4 SKETCH OF TRAJECTORY AND CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM 17 IV A SIMPLIFIED APPROACH TO OBTAIN AN APPROXIMATE SOLUTION; GRAPHICAL METHODS AND CORRECTION If the down range and cross range errors are assumed to be small, the problem can be reduced to a simple two-dimen- sional model since we intuitively feel that a 'best' trajectory is one that passes directly over target. At this point we will assume we follow our intended trajectory with probability 1 and find values of AA and > that optimize this conditional probability of destruction. If Fig. 2 were reflected about a vertical axis, Fig. 5 will result. Again, assume the target to be at (0,0) and we wish to detonate our weapon inside the 20 P.S.I, envelope. We will make the following assumption to supplement those in section III: The warhead passes directly over target in a straight line trajectory making an incidence angle of 0"with the surface.

So far we have the optimum height of the IBP, but still must find out where to plan the detonation, i.e., to select f . Since we are interested in maximizing the probability of destruction (4.5), we see this is clearly equivalent to maximizing ( o( ( d^ -a) since the function is monotonic.

The sharp discontinuity in XCOORD at about 28° is caused by entry into the envelope in the region (850, 700) of Fig. 5 where the slope of the envelope and the slope of the trajectory are nearly equal We will next apply the correction discussed in section III.

The results are corrected by curves like Fig. 6. As was expected the method of section III gives a more accurate first approximation when the ballistic sigma is small. Probabilities of destruction can be predicted more accurately for higher values of 6". In general, the method of section IV gives values of AAand J that are low and nearer to target for small -6>"(©- — 40°) ; high and further from target for higher -Q- This has high intuitive appeal since if re-entry is at small angle we tend to shoot for the point in Fig. destructive envelope intersects the ground. a where the 5 But if ballistic errors are allowed, we run a high risk of having the vehicle impact with the earth before ever reaching target.
