Abstract: In recent years, with the rapid development of autonomous perception, autonomous collaboration, and autonomous control technologies, the USV group has gradually gained operational capabilities. However, there are no efficient counter-USV group munitions and equipment yet. To deal with the difficulty in countering the USV group, based on the terminal-sensitive detection technology, we propose a gun-launched munition that uses the MEFP warhead for damage. The Monte Carlo simulation of target practice is adopted to simulate the utilization of the munition in operations, and the design of the warhead's scattering angle considering a variety of factors is analyzed. The effects of the gun-target distance, the number of targets, the movement speed, and the target size on the damage effectiveness of the munition are investigated. The simulation results show that the terminal-sensitive gun-launched munition is effective in anti-USV group operations. The proposed solution can provide reference and inspiration for China's development of anti-USV group munitions and equipment.
