The theory of continuous Markov process enables us to develop a model of duel combat with the exponential dependency of the effective rate of fire of firing units on the time of the combat with one of the involved units launching a preemptive attack. We devise formulae for calculating the key combat indicators and examine the problem of choosing the optimal range for a portable well camouflage anti-tank missile system to open a fire. The findings of our research show that a fire opened by the system at maximum range does not always lead to the best result. Moreover, we illustrate that the developed model of the duel combat may be applied to solve more general military-technical and military-tactical tasks, and to create new models of the armament and military equipment as well.
