BALLISTIC WINDS STUD

Abstract

An objective analysis technique known as CRAM (Conditional Relaxation Analysis Method) has been programmed for the IBM 7090 to compute ballistic winds, temperature, and density over a region of southeastern Arizona in the vicinity of Ft. Huachuca. The various components and available options of the program are described. A set of analyses produced from initial tests is shown and the ballistic quantities derived are compared with those of the previous quarterly report. Corrections based on a single station (Ft. Huachuca) were applied to concurrent artillery firings for 19 cases. The residual errors derived from these cases will be used as a control for later experiments. The distribution of the residual errors relative to the target strongly suggests a bias in range errors, the average impact location being nearly 200 meters beyond the target.
