EVALUATION OF SCORING ACCURACY OF THE BIDOPS MISS DISTANCE INDICATOR,

Abstract

Ground firing tests were conducted at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, on the BIDOPS miss distance indicator which was fabricated by Babcock Electronic Corporation, to determine its scoring accuracy from 5 to 50 feet. Thirty-three rounds of 105 mm projectiles were fired near the BIDOPS system at random miss distances. Test results revealed a system bias of 11.27 feet plus a mean error of 3.6 feet with a standard deviation of 3.28 feet over a miss distance range of 10 feet to 57.5 feet. (Author)
