This paper describes a computational model for assessing the lethality of fragmenting ammunition. The model is based on the physical properties of fragmenting ammunition and target elements and physical phenomena, including retardation of fragments due to air resistance and fragment perforation. The purpose of this paper is not to provide a detailed description of the model, but rather to provide a summary of the algorithm and the basic equations. An extended version of the model is in use in the Finnish Defence Forces.
