  2. Mathematical discussion of rangekeeping - Wikipedia

    This illustration shows how the Imperial Japanese Navy used the measurement of the angle subtended by a ship to estimate the ship's angle on the bow. The target course was the most difficult piece of target data to obtain. In many cases, instead of measuring target course many systems measured a related quantity called angle on the bow. Angle ...

  3. Target angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_angle

    Target angles from 0° to 180° are reported as "starboard [target angle]", while target angles from 180° to 360° are reported as "port [360° -target angle]". [2] Angle on the bow provided the basis for submarine attack decisions through the world wars. When angle on the bow was less than 90° , the submarine would continue a submerged ...

  4. Rifleman's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman's_rule

    Rifleman's rule is a "rule of thumb" that allows a rifleman to accurately fire a rifle that has been calibrated for horizontal targets at uphill or downhill targets. The rule says that only the horizontal range should be considered when adjusting a sight or performing hold-over in order to account for bullet drop.

  5. Indirect fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_fire

    Modern indirect fire dates from the late 19th century. In 1882 a Russian, Lt Col K. G. Guk, published Field Artillery Fire from Covered Positions that described a better method of indirect laying (instead of aiming points in line with the target). In essence, this was the geometry of using angles to aiming points that could be in any direction ...

  6. Milliradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliradian

    Since an mrad is an angular measurement, the subtension covered by a given angle (angular distance or angular diameter) increases with viewing distance to the target. For instance the same angle of 0.1 mrad will subtend 10 mm at 100 meters, 20 mm at 200 meters, etc., or similarly 0.39 inches at 100 m, 0.78 inches at 200 m, etc.

    The equations implemented in the angle solver can be found in the Torpedo Data Computer manual. [40] The Submarine Torpedo Fire Control Manual [41] discusses the calculations in a general sense and a greatly abbreviated form of that discussion is presented here. The general torpedo fire control problem is illustrated in Figure 2.
