In this paper, a new method for determining the shell layout scheme is proposed, which can make the equipment damage data by the battlefield damage test resemble as close as possible the actual combat data. This method is based on the analysis of the impact point distribution and effective damage area of equipment. In order to obtain the position of the impact points, an impact point distribution model under artillery fire was established. Similarly, in order to obtain the effective damage area of equipment, the concepts of generalized damage area and task-based equipment functional damage probability were demonstrated, and the corresponding calculation model was established. Through case analysis, the shell layout scheme was effectively obtained, verifying the correctness of the proposed method.
