Analysis of Different Approaches for Gun Ammunition to Hit Aerial Target

Abstract:

The role of fire control system is to orient the gun at proper position to hit the moving target accurately. Aim of this paper is to study the different approaches and to analyze the gun ammunition characteristics to hit the aerial target. The described approaches would help in the selection of killing range. These approaches have been implemented with the experimental data generated for guns. The experimental data has been analyzed for suitability of particular technique under different circumstances. This work contributes in prediction of firing angle that includes ballistic offset and lead angle above the angle of sight to engage a moving target from static tank.
