Probability of survival from multiple weapon attacks
This note discusses the survival probabilities for multiple weapons missile attacks. It derives analytic and approximate expressions for average survival probabilities. Both are readily computable. The exponential approximation is sufficiently useful for rough calculations and is well suited to analytic optimizations.
