Abstract: Fragments are the primary killing factor of explosive weapons, and the assessment of the severity of fragment-induced personnel damage is the main part of the killing power assessment of explosive weapons. This study focuses on the operational capability requirements of battlefield personnel, screens the important tissues and organs related to injury severity determination; establishes the injury severity criteria for different tissues and organs at different penetration depths based on AIS and MCIS-based injury severity assessment; proposes a calculation model for the penetration depth of fragments in soft tissues, and calculates the probability of occurrence of different injury seventies induced by fragments at different penetration depths. The results show that the probability of occurrence of different injury severities can be effectively predicted based on the fragment penetration depth, which provides technical support for the assessment of the target killing power of fragments.
