ABSTRACT
The article presents a fast algorithm for target hit probability calculation in real time for the use in modern fire control systems (FCS). The idea behind this algorithm is to calculate the hit probability using the information about the projectile motion and the estimated motion of the tracked target. The first part of the article describes the analytical solution to the problem of hit probability calculation. The results obtained from the analytical method are then compared with a simulation method developed specifically for the analytical method verification. This comparison led to the conclusion that the presented analytical method is suitable for the use in modern FCS.
