Abstract

In the process of further re-equipping units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the latest models of small arms, the modernization of existing weapons and the adoption of new weapons is taking place. This raises the task of providing divisions with such weapons, whose properties would ensure the defeat of the goals set in various combat conditions. A large number of scientific works are devoted to the study of this issue, in which the procedure for determining the effectiveness of small arms shooting is described in detail. Today it became necessary to determine the combat effectiveness of small arms equipped with the latest sights, various additional devices, as well as shooting at targets in the means of personal protection. In this paper, the methods of system analysis and comparison consider existing approaches to determine the effectiveness of shooting and methods of calculating performance indicators and generalize the main criteria for assessing the effectiveness of firing from small arms. As a result of the analysis of the approaches under consideration, the following conclusions were drawn: for the purpose of assessing the effectiveness of small arms shooting, indicators such as the probability of hit the target, the probability of defeating the target, the average ammunition dispersion to fulfill the fire task, the average time spent on the task; Determining the effectiveness of firing in accordance with the existing techniques requires carrying out large-scale and sufficiently complex mathematical calculations, as well as numerous statistical testing of landfills. The main task of further research is to study the effectiveness of the military use of small arms with collimator (thermal) sights and additional devices designed to increase the effectiveness of weapons.
