A Computational Procedure for a Class of Coverage Problems for Multiple Shots

This paper considers certain computational difficulties associated with a class of coverage problems for multiple shots, including the situation where N rounds of a salvo are delivered onto a diffused target, where the single-round damage function, the distribution of impacts about the aim point, and the distribution of aim point about the target center are elliptical normal. The computational procedure employs Jacobi polynomials and results in better convergence properties of the resulting series than for series heretofore employed.
