Infantry Weapons Test Methodology Study. Volume V. Indirect Fire Weapons Test Methodology.

Abstract

Purpose of the Report. the purpose of this report is to summarize efforts and findings concerning indirect fire test methodology. This methodology study was conducted by the Infantry Board to insure that service test procedures incorporate state-of-the-art test and analysis techniques. The study is supported by the Mellonics Division of Litton Industries, Inc., Sunnyvale, California. Since the first 4 years of the methodology study were oriented toward small arms, relatively little effort was focused on indirect fire weapons during that period. In 1969, an effort was begun to develop an improved scoring system for determining the accuracy of indirect fire weapons. The effort was undertaken via a subcontract with the Geophysics Laboratory of the University of Michigan. The final report appears in Appendix IV. Also, in 1969, a project analysis was completed and published.
