4.9/5 (9507 ratings)

Description:Over a period of years, necessity forced the Army and the Field Artillery to adopt automated gunnery to complement manual gunnery. Viewing a highly mobile battlefield in the future, they realized in 1945-1946 that manual gunnery or the use of pencils, paper, darts, charts, and the graphic firing table, a specialized slide rule to solve the gunnery problem to hit a target, was cumbersome, slow, and fraught with human error. To make fire support more responsive, effective, and accurate and to minimize human error, the Army and Field Artillery searched for a more efficient method of calculating technical fire direction also known as technical gunnery. This led to automating gunnery with the electro-mechanical M 15 Gun Data Computer in the 1950s and later the electronic digital M 18 Field Artillery Digital Automated Computer (FADAC) in the 1960s.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
