In order to determine whether the weapon delivery accuracy of an aircraft for which the aerodynamic stability derivatives were not known could be estimated, the strafing performance of an unspecified foreign tactical fighter was analyzed. The stability derivatives were estimated from the physical characteristics of the aircraft using standard stability and control methods. Also, by the use of classical control theory, the probable control system of the aircraft was formulated. Then, with an analytical pilot model in the aircraft's control loop, the tracking error was estimated and combined with other pilot-induced errors in a statistical model which predicts impact errors.
