Measurements of Range Deflection, Time of Flight, and Height of Burst for FiredArtillery Shell Method I. Triangulation

摘要

Triangulation, the means by which test range measurements are converted intomeasurements of range, deflection, height of burst, and time of flight for a fired artillery shell, is explained. This is done by describing the engineering and mathematics behind the technique as currently practiced on today's proving grounds and, also, by discussing the associated accuracy. An alternative to triangulation is suggested under certain circumstances.
