General Info Flashcards
What are the six range estimation techniques?
- Terrain
- Map
- Football field method
- Mil relation formula (worm method)
- Laser range finder
- Flash to bang method
What is the measure of angular deviation for hand/finger method?
1 Finger- 30 mils 2 Fingers- 70 mils 3 Fingers- 100 mils 4 Fingers- 125 mils Fist- 180 mils Spread Hand- 300 mils
What are the three methods of target location?
- Polar
- Grid
- Shift
What is the only thing that is different between each method of target location?
How the target location is reported
When conducting a polar call for fire does the FDC need to know the FO’s position?
Yes
What are the two main pieces of information given to the FDC during a Polar mission?
Distance and Direction
What is the most dangerous type of fire mission?
Polar mission because your location can be determined by the enemy if open coms are used
Grid fire missions should be treated as a continuous of what type of fire mission?
Polar
Grid fire missions can be sent in _ or _ digit grids.
6 or 8
What are the essential pieces of information reported to the FDC during shift from a known point?
Direction, lateral shift (left or right), and range change (add or down)
When conducting a shift from a known point fire mission how do you determine the vertical shift?
Change in elevation between known point and the target.
What is the acronym used to remember changes in direction?
RALS- Right Add, Left Subtract
What are the six parts of the call for fire process?
Observer ID, WARNO, Target location, Target description, Method of engagement, Method of fire & control
What are the four range adjustment techniques?
1 round and adjust, Successive bracketing, Hasty bracketing, Creeping Fire method
When and how do you use the creeping fire method?
When call for fire is within danger close and no more than 100M adjustments
What are the four possible warning orders?
Adjust Fire- Polar, Grid, Shift
Fire for effect
Suppression
Immediate Suppression
In what part(s) of the call for fire process is the Target altitude given?
Method of engagement, or method of fire control
In what part of the call for fire process is the FDC notified of danger close?
Method of engagement
In what range does Danger Close become applicable?
600M
What is the acronym to remember when calling in a target description?
SNAP - Size, Nomenclature, Activity, Protection
What are the OT Factors
850-949 = .9 950-1499 = 1 1500-2500 = 2 2501-3499 = 3
When is Angle T in effect?
0500 to 2700 mils
Where does Angle T occur?
Angular deviation between OT and GT line
