In order to investigate the application prospect of multiple explosively formed penetrator (short for MEFP) warhead technology in intelligent mine´ damage to tank top-armor, LS-DYNA finite element software was employed in the numerical simulation of the forming process of MEFP warhead under different initiation modes. A scanning movement model and two damage models for intelligent mines were built based on the principle of detonation wave actions under different initiation modes and the forming regulation of intelligent mine MEFP warhead. With the application of Monte Carlo method, the process of intelligent mine´s attacking tank top-armor was simulated in computer, and the probabilities of intelligent mine´ scanning-capture, hitting and damaging tank targets were obtained. In the mean time, with the damage probability being adopted as the assessment index, the two damage models built based on the attack of MEFP intelligent mine to tank top-armor were compared from the angles of damaged parts and damage grades. The results show that the target damaging probability of intelligent mine against tank top-armor can be greatly improved with MEFP warhead technology being applied; the two built damage models can meet the engineering requirements on the whole, suitable for practical tactical application, and have certain engineering and application value as well.
