Abstract:

Evaluation of tank fire control systems is the subject of much emphasis at the present time. Test data collected during a fire control test conducted by the United States Army Material Systems Analysis Activity is examined using several different analysis procedures. The objective of the analysis is to determine the optimal time to employ in the tracking rate filter of a tank fire control lead prediction algorithm. An additional objective is to quantify individual components of target error and to investigate the character of these errors as a function of varying tracking rate filter times. Author
