What is Fire ControlWhat is Fire Control

How must a weapon be fired at a How must a weapon be fired at a stationary or moving target from a stationary or moving target from a

launcher that is stationary or launcher that is stationary or moving in order to hit the target?moving in order to hit the target?

The Fire Control ProblemThe Fire Control Problem

Factors affecting the problem:

- Effects of relative motion during flight

- Effects of physical phenomena (exterior ballistics)

Effects of GravityEffects of Gravity

Line of Sight

Line of Fire

Gravity tends to accelerateobjects downward. (The longerthe flight time the more the curve)

Page 13: Fire Control Naval Weapons Systems. We Know: How the target is detected, How the target is tracked, How the weapon is launched, How the weapon is propelled,

Effects of DragEffects of DragDrag is loss of energy of a projectile during flight.

Energy is lost through: a. Creation of air waves (function of projectile shape) b. Creation of suction and eddy currents (shape) c. Formation of heat (friction)

Drag will change the aim point by changing the speed of theprojectile, increasing flight time, increasing curve caused bygravity.

Effects of DriftEffects of DriftDrift is caused by the rotation of a projectile (rifling).Drift results in a lateral displacement in flight path.
