The objective of this computer-based analysis is
to investigate the effect of target evasive maneuvers
on the probability of acquisition by the seeker of the
surface-to-surface missile MM 38 "Exocet" employed
from Federal German Navy Fast Patrol Boats. Two
different targeting methods, the unassisted and the
assisted (by helicopter or remotely piloted vehicle)
are analyzed with respect to the dependence of the
probability of acquisition upon sensor capabilities,
missile characteristics, and the motion of the target,
in particular the interdependence between the various
missile search-sector parameters, the target range,
and the target aspect-angle. The influence of the
radar cross-section at different aspect-angles of the
various Warsaw Pact Navy surface vessels are not
considered in this unclassified analysis. The most
effective measures to significantly improve the
probability of acquisition are the shift of the point
of aim and the minimization of the target
reaction-time.
