Gunner Aiming Performance as a Function of Target Tank Shape, Size and Selection of Firing Positions.

Abstract

Gunner aiming data are presented when engaging two kinds of main battle tank targets-the M60A1 and the Swedish Casemate which ostensibly present the engaging gunner with targets of significantly different shape and size. The data are analyzed in terms of target size and shape as a function of selection of (selected versus forced) firing positions. Implications of the effects of tank design and presented target area on the performance of engaging enemy gunners are drawn. (Author)
