Analysis of armor-piercing projectile hit probability influenced by target decelerating manoeuvre

This paper put forward a method of reducing the armor-piercing projectile hit probability by investigating the characteristics of modern tank fire control system and armor-piercing projectile. A hit probability model based on traditional firing theory was established and analyzed. The results show that this method is effective. The further study points out that the most effective way to decrease the hit probability is reducing the response time of the target.
