If a weapon system is fired at a circular target and the
impact point is distributed as a bivariate normal random
variable, it is not particularly difficult to determine hit
probability if the expected impact point is at target center.
If, for some reason, the expected impact point is offset, the
problem of determining hit probabilities becomes quite complex
Herein is developed a method to approximate such a hit
probability.
