Question 1

Area A

Answer 1

Is the secondary danger area (buffer zone) that laterally parallels the impact area or ricochet area (depending on the weapon system) and contains fragments, debris, and components from tangible or explosive projectilesnand warheads functioning on the right or left edge of the impact area or ricochet area.

Question 2

Dispersion area

Answer 2

Located between the gun target line and the ricochet area. This area accounts for human error, gun or cannon tube wear, propellant temperature etc

Question 3

Distance Y

Answer 3

the maximum distance downrange at which a lateral ricochet is expected to occur when a projectile is fired at a given quadrant elevation.

Question 4

Angle P

Answer 4

The area beginning at the firing point, located to the left and right of the dispersion area, which defines the area which contains projectiles after making initial contact with the target medium.

Question 5

Distance W

Answer 5

The maximum lateral distance a projectile will ricochet after impacting within the dispersion area. Defines the maximum lateral edge of the ricochet area.

Question 6

Distance X

Answer 6

The maximum distance a projectile (to include guided missiles and rockets) will travel when fired or launched at a given quadrant elevation with a given charge or propulsion system.

Question 7

Area F

Answer 7

The danger area to the rear of a weapon system that is endangered by black blast debris, overpressure, blast, and hazardous impulse noise.

Question 8

Area B

Answer 8

The secondary danger area(buffer zone) on the downrange side of the impact area and area A which contains fragments, debris, and components from frangible or exploding projectiles and warheads functioning on the far edge of the impact area or ricochet area.

Question 9

Angle Q

Answer 9

The angle beginning at distance Y located to the left and right of the dispersion area, which defines the area which contains projectiles after making initial contact with impact medium.

Question 10

Gun target line

Answer 10

An imaginary line drawn between the firing position and target position.
Also referred to as the line of fire.

Question 11

Ricochet area

Answer 11

The area beginning at the firing point, located to the left and right of the dispersion area, which defines the area which contains projectiles after making initial contact with the target medium.

Question 12

3 rules for canting a target

Answer 12

1. If the plotted position is within 80 meters of a grid line (on a scale of 1:25,000)
2. If the target that is to be plotted interferes with a previously constructed targets plotted point, the new target should be canted.
   3 the only time the targets plotted position will bisect is when both target points are within 80 meters of a grid line.

Question 13

What is the distance at which you will place the circle that extends in all directions that depicts an infantry area target?

Answer 13

100m

Question 14

Unit, Range/Training area, firing dates, poc, and unit phone number should be located where?

Answer 14

Marginal data

Question 15

A moving target’s track should be capped with what?

Answer 15

100m line

Question 16

Maneuver box formula

Given vehicle speed and exposure time

Answer 16

_mph x .44704=__ x (exposure time) = __m

_sec + 8TLT sec= (exposure time)
