    The Spall and Maryak approach applies when the shot data represent a mixture of different projectile characteristics (e.g., shots from multiple munitions types or from multiple locations directed at one target).

    Autogynephilia would represent an inwardly directed form of gynephilia, with the attraction to women being redirected towards the self instead of others. These forms of erotic target location errors have also been observed with other base orientations, such as pedophilia, attraction to amputees, and attraction to plush animals.

    [4] [5] A male with sexual arousal based on temporarily taking on the appearance or role of a woman is transvestic fetishism. Several other sexual interests also exist in ETLE forms: Whereas acrotomophilia refers to the sexual preference for amputees, apotemnophilia refers to sexual arousal in association with having an amputation, [ 6 ...

  5. Time on target - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_On_Target

    Time on target (TOT) is the military co-ordination of artillery fire by many weapons so that all the munitions arrive at the target at roughly the same time. The military standard for coordinating a time-on-target strike is plus or minus three seconds from the prescribed time of impact.

    GPS signals can also be affected by multipath issues, where the radio signals reflect off surrounding terrain; buildings, canyon walls, hard ground, etc. These delayed signals cause measurement errors that are different for each type of GPS signal due to its dependency on the wavelength.

    5–10 Moderate Positional measurements could be used for calculations, but the fix quality could still be improved. A more open view of the sky is recommended. 10–20 Fair Represents a low confidence level. Positional measurements should be discarded or used only to indicate a very rough estimate of the current location. > 20 Poor

    Figure 2: Example of An Artillery Location Problem. Assume that two time delays are measured (assume speed of sound ≈ {\displaystyle \approx } 330 meters per second). Microphone 1 to Microphone 2 time delay: 0.455 s ⇒ {\displaystyle \Rightarrow } r 2 = 150 {\displaystyle r_{2}=150} meters

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_designator

    A laser designator is a laser light source which is used to designate a target.Laser designators provide targeting for laser-guided bombs, missiles, or precision artillery munitions, such as the Paveway series of bombs, AGM-114 Hellfire, or the M712 Copperhead round, respectively.
