Measurements of Range, Deflection, and Height of Burst for Fired Artillery Shell, Method II - A Least-Squares Methodology

Abstract

An alternative mathematical method for obtaining measurements of range, deflection, travel time, and height of burst for a fired artillery shell is explained. The associated algorithms and computer program are illustrated, discussed, and listed. A comparison of this methodology with triangulation is also made.
