Air-to-Air Engagement Tables

Abstract

A simple computer program was written for use in calculating air-to- air gunnery parameters, such as time of flight, lead angle, gravity drop, and prediction bias for various air-to-air engagement conditions. The engagement conditions are specified as range to target, angle-off, load factor, airspeed, and altitude. The computer program is primarily extracted from a current air-to- air gunnery effectiveness model and has been modified to provide a tabular output of the engagement parameters. The program is used to generate air-to-air engagement parameters for the 20mm high explosive projectile as fired from the M-61 cannon.
