Using shooting point stepping pace for evaluating one-versus-one BVR combat effectiveness

A new criterion of evaluating one-versus-one BVR combat effectiveness is presented. In BVR combat simulation, the exchange ratio is usually the main criterion which reflects fighter's combat effectiveness. According to the one-versus-one BVR combat philosophy, airspace control can be achieved by killing the adversary directly, on the other hand, it can also be established by driving away the adversary through missiles shooting. The new criterion-Shooting Point (the position where fighter shoot missile) and Stepping Pace can directly reflect fighter's ability of occupying the airspace step by step. Using this criterion and exchange ratio in BVR combat effectiveness evaluation can reflect the nature of BVR combat much exactly. This criterion is proved to be feasible by an example and the concept of this criterion can also be expanded when evaluating many-versus-many BVR combat effectiveness.
