Automated Gun Laying System for Self-Propelled Artillery Weapons.

Abstract

Current procedures for laying field artillery can cause gross aiming errors and can cause time delays beccause these operations must be performed in sequence rather than simultaneously, and involve verbal transmission of numerical data. To obtain more data on the benefits of automation, Contract DAAA09-76-C-2084 was issued by ARMCOM (and later transferred to ARRADCOM) to design, develop, fabricate and install one prototype Automated Gun Laying System (AGLS) in a government furnished M109A1 self-propelled howitzer.
