Impact of Spacial and Temporal Frequency of Meteorological Data on Field Artillery Accuracy

摘要

The effect of spacial and temporal frequency of radiosonde data on artillery accuracy is analyzed for the 8-in (short tube) and 155 mm (long tube) weapon systems. Range and deflection elliptical probable errors for hitting a stationary target are calculated for various firing scenario using real meteorological data from central Europe. The individual errors due to variability and uncertainty in wind, temperature, and density measurements are also analyzed for several of the firing examples.
