Analysis of firing after shortest distance between target and anti-aircraft gun

Abstract

In order to make full use of the performance of high-muzzle-velocity anti-aircraft weapon, make full use of the target firing segments on the entire route of the target, fully grasp all the firing opportunities, and reduce the possibility of a target breaking through the defense, the original pre-navigation firing (firing before shortest distance between target and anti-aircraft gun) method based on a muzzle velocity below 3ma cannot meet the needs mentioned above. Based on the establishment of high-muzzle velocity projectiles, this paper aims at the current situation of less post-navigation firing (firing after shortest distance between target and anti-aircraft gun), verifies the feasibility of post-navigation firings by analyzing the relative remained velocity required to penetrate the target, and verifies that with the gradual increase in projectile muzzle velocity, its firing range and timing can increase simultaneously. It provides a theoretical basis for post-navigation firing, increases the firing opportunities for the target on the entire route, and provides a reference for the demonstration, design and testing of the new anti-aircraft fire control system.
