Abstract
In salvo firing, the smallest ballistic dispersion is
not always most desirable. Deliberate increase of the
ballistic dispersion can improve the probability of destroying
the target. Our concern in this dissertation is
the optimization of such "artificial 11 dispersion in two-dimensional
salvo models. In some cases no closed form
solution is available, but we are able to offer efficient
methods for the computation or approximation of the salvo
kill probability. In other cases we are able to derive
approximate formulae for the optimal ballistic dispersion.
