Statistical Method of Prediction in Fire Control

Abstract

The present report concerns the use of statistical methods of prediction particularly as applies to the control of anti-aircraft fire of large caliber at long range and even more specially concerning such fire as used against planes fly an approximately level and straight course. This investigation had its inception in certain questions that were put to the author in the fall of 1940 concerning servomechanism design. At that time the author was very much interested in what has become a routine matter since, namely, the use of the methods of communication engineering in servo design.
