Density of fire is one of the main characteristics of the intensity of fire impact on the target , which is expressed in the total number of shells (bullets, mines, etc.) per unit area of the target (sometimes - the length of its front ) per unit time [1] [2] [3 ] .
Depends on the number of fire weapons involved, their type, rate of fire and the size of the area under fire [1] [2] , is a determining factor in assessing the validity of shooting [1] [2] .
Specifics for individual weapons
- For artillery weapons, the density of fire is determined by the number of shells or mines hit in one minute of firing on one hectare of target area or 100 meters of its front [1] [2] .
- For anti-aircraft artillery, the density of fire is the number of shots (explosions) at a moving air target per kilometer of its trajectory in the affected area [1] .
- For small arms , fire density is the number of bullets per minute per meter of front [1] .
