FM/BS-1162.V1.00 - Calculate ballistics
- Determine gun location
- Determine grid and altitude (ASL) of each firing point.
- Use centre-point only if all guns are within 50m radius.
- Determine target location
- Determine grid and altitude (ASL) via Grid, Polar, or Shift.
- Determine sight to target
- Calculate azimuth, distance, and altitude difference.
- Develop the fire solution
- Select charge using range table.
- Determine base elevation; interpolate if needed.
- Adjust for altitude difference.
- Calculate time of flight.
- Set ammunition parameters
- Set proximity/timed fuses based on altitude or time of flight if applicable.
- Verify all data
- Recheck all data.
- Ideally cross-check with a second calculator.
