Optimization of Direct Fire Effects by Aimpoint Selection. Part 1. Basic Theory

Abstract

This study discusses the factors related to the optimal selection of aimpoints for direct fire. Mean point of impact or bias errors and round-to- round or precision errors are considered. The concepts and techniques related to the problem are developed through a series of examples. A study looking into the effects of varying the precision errors is presented. Keywords: Target location density; Precision errors; Aimpoint strategy; Circular error probable; Gunnery.
