Lecture



When firing projectiles, calculating the probability of hitting the target is reduced to calculating the probability of hitting a random point   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape in some area   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape . Let random point   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape subject to normal law in canonical form. Probability of hitting a point   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape to the area   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape expressed by the integral

  9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape . (9.5.1)

In some particular cases (for example, when   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape there is a rectangle with sides parallel to the main axes of dispersion, or an ellipse of dispersion, as well as in some others that have less practical value) the integral (9.5.1) can be expressed through known functions; in the general case, this integral is not expressed through known functions. In practice, the following approximate methods are used to calculate the probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape.

1. Area   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape approximately replaced by an area made up of rectangles whose sides are parallel to the main dispersion axes (Fig.9.5.1). The probability of hitting each of these rectangles is calculated by the formula (9.3.3). This method can be recommended when the number of rectangles into which the target is approximately broken.   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape , not too large.

2. The whole plane   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape With the help of a certain system of lines (straight lines or curves), it is pre-divided into a series of cells, the probabilities of entering which can be expressed precisely through known functions, and the probability of falling into each cell is calculated. Such a system of lines with corresponding probabilities of hitting the cells is called a dispersion grid. Working with the grid is that the image of the grid is superimposed on the image of the target, after which the probabilities of hitting the cells covered with the target are summed up; if the target covers a part of the cell, then the part of the probability of hitting the cell is taken, which is proportional to the covered area.

The scattering grid can be applied in two ways: a) build a target at the grid scale, b) build a grid at the target scale.

If the goal has complex outlines and, especially, if it is relatively small, it is usually more convenient to construct on the image of the target on the same scale that part of the grid that is occupied by the target. If the target has a relatively simple shape and is quite large (occupies a significant part of the full ellipse of dispersion), it is usually more convenient to build a target at the grid scale. Since the standard grid is built for circular scattering, and in practice, scattering is generally not circular, when building a goal on a grid scale, it is generally necessary to use two different scales along the axes   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape and   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape . With this method, it is convenient to have a scattering grid, made on transparent paper, and overlay it on the rearranged image of the target. The rectilinear scattering grid for one coordinate angle is given in Fig. 9.5.2. Cell side is equal to   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape .

The cells bear the probabilities of hitting them, expressed in the fortieth fractions of a percent.

1. In the case where the dimensions of the area   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape small compared with the standard deviations (do not exceed   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape s.k.o. in the direction of the corresponding axes), the probability of hitting this area can be approximately calculated by a formula that does not contain an integration operation.

Consider on the plane   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape small target   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape arbitrary shape (Fig. 9.5.3). Assume that the size of this goal is small compared with the probable deviations   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape . According to the general formula (8.3.3) we have:

  9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape . (9.5.2)

Where   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape - system distribution density   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape . Apply to integral (9.5.2) the mean value theorem:

  9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape ,

Where   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape - some point inside the area   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape - area of ​​the region   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape .

In the case where the system   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape subordinated to the normal law in the canonical form, we have:

  9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape . (9.5.3)

With a relatively small area   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape distribution density   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape within this region changes little and can practically be taken constant. Then as a point   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape you can select any point within the area   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape (for example, approximate target center).

Formulas like (9.5.3) are widely used in practice. For areas whose largest dimensions do not exceed   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape standard deviations in the corresponding direction, they give quite acceptable accuracy results. In some cases, they are also used for larger areas (of the order of one sko). Subject to some amendments (namely, the replacement of   9.5.  Probability of hitting an area of ​​arbitrary shape slightly increased values) the range of applicability of this formula can be extended to areas of the order of two sk. sizes.
