Striking a target with indirect fire with no need for registration fire in rocket artillery – fire mission with solution

Abstract

The paper presents a method of solving a fire mission by rocket artillery subunits involving the determination of settings on the basis of complete data on firing conditions (predicted fire). This is the primary means of determining the settings for effective fire in rocket artillery. The paper describes how to: fill out a sheet of calculated corrections, draw up a chart of cumulative corrections, solve a geometric task using a calculator, use the chart of cumulative corrections to determine range and directional corrections and prepare a firing command. The article provides commentary and identifies the most common errors made at each stage of solving the mission.
