Tank Gunners' Aiming Performance Against Clear versus Indistinct Targets.

Abstract

Tank gunners' aiming preferences, when presented with clearly visible versus indistinct or partially visible stationary tank targets, are presented and analyzed. Results indicate that while performance against clearly visible targets approximates that found in earlier studies, the more indistinct targets are engaged with significantly increased dispersions of aiming points. Implications for war gaming, training, and fire control systems are drawn.
