A Constantly Computed Impact Point (CCIP) is a calculation provided by a weapon's sighting system. It is a predicted point of impact found from the launch platform's movement, the target's movement, gravity, projectile launch velocity, projectile drag, and other factors that can be entered.
A projectile being fired from an artillery piece. A projectile is an object that is propelled by the application of an external force and then moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.
The predicted impact point (PIP) is the location that a ballistic projectile (e.g. bomb, missile, bullet) is expected to strike if fired. The PIP is almost always actively determined by a targeting computer, which then projects a PIP marker (a "pipper") onto a head-up display (HUD).
This schlieren image of a bullet travelling in free-flight demonstrates the air-pressure dynamics surrounding the bullet.. External ballistics or exterior ballistics is the part of ballistics that deals with the behavior of a projectile in flight.
FM 6-40 depiction of the M731 155mm projectile, featuring bisected view and close up of an individual M72 land mine. Area denial artillery munition (ADAM) is a family of United States land mines and 155 mm artillery projectiles.
Bullet parts: 1 metal jacket, 2 lead core, 3 steel penetrator. Terminal ballistics is a sub-field of ballistics concerned with the behavior and effects of a projectile when it hits and transfers its energy to a target.
Home Guards load a rocket launcher on a static 'Z' Battery on Merseyside, July 1942. The solid-fuel 3 in (76 mm) rocket used by the Z Batteries was known as the UP-3 (Unrotated Projectile) and had been developed in the late 1930s by the Projectile Development Establishment at Fort Halstead in Kent under the direction of Alwyn Crow.
