Analysis of Gunner Aim Errors from the Tank Against Helicopter Operational Performance (TAHOP) Experiment.

Abstract

Data from the TAHOP experiment are analyzed, principally to establish lead estimate errors and implementation errors suitable for calculating hit probabilities of tanks firing APDS rounds from their main guns at helicopters. Comprehensive investigations were carried out for a hovering helicopter, and to a somewhat lesser extent for a helicopter flying at constant speed on a level course. Less extensive analyses were made for the other helicopter maneuver conditions involved in the test. Detailed data for each firing event are described and sample tabulations provided. (Author)
