Improved Sound Ranging Location of Enemy Artillery.
Abstract
ER AIDED ANALYSISA major improvement in sound ranging computational techniques has been developed and demonstrated. Target location data produced by the USRAN3 technique are degraded much less by errors in input data, including meteorological correction data, than are those of the field method. When tested on a set of 1863 target locations, the USRAN3 technique yielded 43% more fixes with errors less than 45 meters than did the field method. The overall probable error of target location was reduced from 117 meters to 96 meters. The previously reported median technique yielded an overall probable error of 101 meters. Both methods are readily adaptable to either manual or computer solution of the sound ranging problem and can be implemented by personnel having the skills normally available in GR-8 operations.
