Abstract: A method suitable for hand computation is presented for determining the probability of killing a point target when ( a ) the lethal volume is a sphere centered on the burst point of the weapon, and ( b ) the distribution of the weapon's burst points is described by a three-dimensional multivanate normal distribution about the target.
