Q

Define line of departure

A

prolongation of line running through the axis of the gun bore as the projective leaves the muzzle.

23
Q

Define vehicle gun jump

A

angle measure in mils, between the line of departure of the projectile and the line of elevation.

24
Q

Define trajectory

A

path of the projectile from the muzzle of the weapon to the first point of impact.

25
Q

Define range

A

weapon to target distance.

26
Q

Define superelevation

A

angle measure in the mils, between the line of sight and the line of elevation.

27
Q

Define DR/DSE

A

change in range for a’mil change in super elevation.

28
Q

Define DH/DR

A

change in height for a 100 meter change in range.

29
Q

Define drift

A

number of mils the projectile moves to the right of the gun- target line because of the spin caused by the firing.

30
Q

Define time of flight

A

amount of time it takes a projectile to reach a target at a selected range.

31
Q

Define 10 km/h cross wind deflection

A

effect of wind defection assumes 10 km/h cross wind the correction is applied into wind. When wind speed is different from 10 km/h the point of aim must be calculated.

Q

Define Maximum ordinate

A

maximum height the projectile travels above the line of sight at a given range.

33
Q

Define range to maximum ordinate

A

range at when the maximum ordinate is reached. out to this range the projectile is ascending. the range to max ordinate always occur shortly beyond half the target range.

34
Q

Define angle of fall

A

number of mils between the projectile is trajectory at impact and the line of sight

35
Q

Define remaining velocity

A

speed of the projectile in meters per second at a selected range.

36
Q

State the formula to convert Mils to degrees

A

mils x 0.05625 = degrees
