G E N E R A L

1-1. Scope.

a. This manual covers the operation and maintenance of the Ballistic Aerial Target System

(BATS) (fig. 1-1). The manual includes: a descrip-

tion of the three major components of the BATS

(Target, Launcher, and Rocket firing box), emplacement, assembly, checkout, and operating procedures; a discussion of the theory of operation; operator, organizational, and DS/GS maintenance instructions; and instructions for handling the propulsion and ordnance devices.

b. Additional data essential to the operation and maintenance of the BATS are in the appendices to this manual.

1-2. Forms and Records.

a. Reports of Maintenance and Unsatisfactory

Equipment. Use equipment forms and records in accordance with instructions in DA PAM 738-750.

b. Report of Damaged or Improper Shipment.

Fill out and forward DD Form 6 (Report of

Damaged or Improper Shipment) as prescribed in

AR 700-58.

1-3. Difference Among Models.

a. There are two configurations of the rocket firing box covered in this manual. Firing box

11507250 will replace the original version

(10286402) by attrition. The boxes are essentially the same, except that the new firing box uses silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) instead of relays for improved reliability.

b. Some targets are not suitable for use with sustainer cartridges installed. These “Boost-coastonly” targets are identifiable by serial number,

Targets with serial numbers 224497 thru 225761 and 229363 thru 229688 cannot be used with sustainer cartridges.

Gunnery.

Section II. DESCRIPTION

The empty target weight is approximately

130 pounds; loaded weight is approximately 192 pounds. It is 17 feet long, 15 inches in diameter; and provides a 22.5 square-foot broadside area.

The metal skin and fins provide radar reflectivity.

The target is painted a bright international orange color for easier visual target acquisition. The Ballistic Aerial Target (BAT) was designed as an expendable target for training in Air Defense

b. Boost propulsion for the target is provided by two, three, four, or five 2.75-inch low-spin folding fin aircraft rockets (LSFFAR) or MK66 motors.

c. Sustainer thrust for the target is provided by two jet engine starter cartridges mounted in the sustainer motor case in the forward end of the target body. Two thrust nozzles exit from the side of the target just aft of the nose cone assembly.

The nozzles are canted to impart a roll torque to the target for initial spin while providing thrust to overcome air drag during flight. The sustainer motor burns for approximately 15.7 sec.

d. The target spin is initiated sustainer motor nozzles and the motor nozzles and is maintained fins.

e. Average target velocities between 297 knots and 510 knots may be obtained in variable increments depending on the number of rocket motors and launch angle quadrant elevation (Q.E.).

f. The flight path of the target may be affected by winds. Because of its aerodynamic characteristics, the target has a tendency to weather-vane, or turn into the wind. During final aiming of the

launcher, the wind correction data of appendix D

and appendix E are used.

g. BATS is currently being used as a target for

AVENGER, CHAPARRAL, REDEYE, and

STINGER. These are described in table 1-1. The

trajectory and speed of the target may be varied by using additional rocket motors. When additional rocket motors are utilized it is also necessary to requisition an equal number of wiring harnesses and clamps.

h. Infrared augmentation is provided

AVENGER, CHAPARRAL, REDEYE,

STINGER by MK 33 Mod parasitic flares.

flare also serves as a source of light for day night engagements.

i. A special scoring device to provide missile miss distance can be obtained when requested by letter from Commander, U.S. Army Missile Command, ATTN: AMSMI-ITTS-QS, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5798. This support is contractor operated and must be requested by MACOM 30 days in advance.

1-5. Launcher (Fig. 1-3).

a. The base structure of the launcher is welded alumimum with three-point suspension for stability. Screw jacks are provided (one front, two rear) to provide a means of leveling the launcher slide when emplaced on slopes of up to 4.5 degrees in any direction. The base structure contains a tool box for storing tools, a platform for the launcher batteries, and a mounting base for the fire control

slave unit. See appendix B for basic issue items.

b. The rear stand supports the launcher slide, provides a means of aiming the launcher in azimuth ( 9 degrees), and serves as the lower attach point of the elevating actuator.

c. The slide supports the target and provides directional control. A slot in the center of the slide serves as a track for the guide pin located on the bottom of the target. Refer to

figure 1-2 for location of guide pin.

d. The front stand supports the front end of the slide at

0 degrees elevation.

e. The telescoping supports support the forward end of the slide in all elevated positions. These supports are provided with screw leeks which must be locked for launching and unlocked when raising or lowering the launcher slide. The telescoping supports are attached at the lower ends to pivoting stabilizer arms. The stabilizer arms are attached to the base structure and are pivoted outward for launching. Two screw jacks are provided on the ends of the arms for support. Universal joints on the ends of the telescoping supports permit free lateral motion. The maximum angle of elevation obtainable, using the elevating actuator, is 45 degrees. For a larger QE, it is necessary to place the launcher on an incline. When the slide is elevated above 25 degrees, the locking pins on the support arms are removed, the arms extended and the pins reinstalled.

f. Two work stands (fig. l-l) are provided for

supporting the target during tin installation and sustainer motor preparation.

Fire Control System.

a.

General. The fire control system consists of a

rocket firing box (fig. 1-4), a fire control slave unit (fig.

1-5), batteries, and connecting wires. The. tire control

system provides for remote launching of one or more targets (maximum of 6).

The targets may be fired simultaneously or individually from location of up to two miles from the launcher. One pair of wires (telephone cable

(WD-1/TT)) must be provided between the rocket firing box and the fire control slave unit for each launcher. Refer

to figure 1-6 for system schematic.

b. Rocket Firing Box 10286402 Theory of

Operation (fig. 1-7).

(1) The rocket firing box power source consists of two 12-volt batteries in series, providing 24 volts dc power input to the firing box power input connectors J1 (+) and J2 (-). The positive side of the 24 vdc is applied to fuse

Fl. Fuse F1 is wired into POWER switch S1.

F1, rated at 3 amperes, can carry the current necessary to provide the output fire command signals to the six launcher firing circuits simultaneously.

(2) With the POWER. switch set to the

ON position, 24 vdc is applied to the following components: POWER indicator DS1; normally open wiper of FIRE COMMAND switch S3; normally open contacts of relay K1; normally open wipers of lamp TEST switch S2; and normally open contacts of the RESET switch.

After power has been applied to POWER indicator DS 1, the indicator will illuminate.

(3) The TEST switch circuits are used to functionally test launcher ARMED and FIRED indicators DS2 DS13 for all six launchers simultaneously.

W h e n t h e T E S T s w i t c h i s actuated, power is applied through voltage blocking diodes CR1 - CR12 to the lamps of all the ARMED and FIRED indicators.

(4) When FIRE COMMAND switch S3 is actuated, power is applied to the coil of relay

K1. The coil of relay K1 is energized, closing the set of normally open (NO) contacts located in the fire command bus. The 24 vdc is then applied to the fire command bus through the normally closed (NC) contacts of thermal delay relay K2, which is in series with relay K1 contacts in the fire command bus. The thermal delay relay K2 contacts will remain closed until t h e c o i l o f K 2 a c t i v a t e s ( a p p r o x i m a t e l y 4 seconds, adjustable by resistor R1) and opens the circuit of the fire command bus, removing t h e f i r e c o m m a n d v o l t a g e f r o m t h e f i r e command bus.

(5) The SAFE/ARM switches of the six launcher circuits provide the operator with the option of selecting any combination of the launcher circuits desired. The SAFE position of this switch prevents the application of power from the fire command bus and shorts the positive and negative output terminals. With SAFE/

ARM switch S4 set to the ARM position and

FIRE COMMAND switch S3 set to the FIRE

COMMAND position, 24 vdc is applied to the fire command bus, and a fire command will be

initiated at launcher 1 output terminals J3 and J4 on the rocket firing box. When the output signal appears at the launcher output terminals,

FIRED indicator DS5 - DS13 will illuminate for each of the selected launchers. The output fire command (24 vdc pulse) is applied across coil

K3A - K8A of latching relay K3A - K8A, energizing the relay coil in parallel with the output fire command signal, opening contacts K3A -

K8A in series with the ARMED indicator; and closing contacts K3A - K8A in series with the

FIRED indicator; thus applying voltage to the

FIRED indicator lamp.

(6) Closing reset switch S7 applies power across the coil of K3B of latching relay K3A

(one each per circuit) and provides the operator with a method of resetting the launch indicators from the FIRED to ARMED status. With the

SAFE/ARM switches set to the ARM position, power is applied to the ARMED indicator through a set of K3A contacts in a series with the ARMED indicator for each launcher circuit

(if RESET switch has been pressed) or to the

FIRED indicator through a set of K3A contacts in series with the FIRED indicator for each launcher circuit (if RESET stitch has not been pressed).

(Figure 1-8).

(1) The rocket Firing box power source consists of two 12-volt batteries in series, providing 24 volts dc power input ot the firing box power input connectors J1 (+) and J2

(-). The positive side of the 24 vdc is applied to fuse F1.

Fuse F1 is wired into power switch S1. F1, rated at 3 amperes, can carry the current necessary to provide the output fire command signals to the six launcher firing cirucuits simultaneously.

DS1; normally open wiper of FIRE COMMAND switch

S3. After power has been applied to POWER indicator

DS1, the indicator lamp will illuminate.

(3) The test switch circuits arc used to functionally test launchcr ARMED and FIRED indicator lamps DS2 -

DS 13 for all six launchers simultaneously. When the TEST switch is actuated, -28 vdc is applied through voltage blocking diodes CR2, CR3, CR5, CR6, CR8, CR9, CR11,

CR12, CR14, CR15, CR17, and CR18 to illuminate all the

ARMED and FIRED indicator lamps.

(4) When the FIRE COMMAND switch S3 is actuated, 24v is applied to the FIRE COMMAND bus. The S3 switch is spring loaded and the 24v is removed from the FIRE COMMAND bus when the switch is released.

(5) The SAFE/ARM switches of the six launcher circuits provide the operator with the option of selecting any combination of the launcher circuits desired. The SAFE position of this switch prevents the application of power from the FIRE COMMAND bus and shorts the positive and negative output terminals. With SAFE/ARM switch S4 set to the ARM position and FIRE

COMMAND switch S3 to the FIRE COMMAND position 24 vdc is applied to the FIRE

COMMAND bus, and a FIRE COMMAND will be initiated at launcher output terminals J3 and J4 on the rocket firing bus. When the output signal appears at the launcher output terminals, FIRED indicator lamps DS5, DS6, DS7, DS11, DS12, or

DS13 will illuminate for each of the selected launchers. The output FIRE COMMAND (24 vdc pulse) is applied across resistors (R1 - R12) energizing SCR (CR1, CR4, CR7, CR10, CR13, or

CR16) thus applying voltage to the fired indicator lamp.

(6) Closing reset switch S7 deenergizes SCR

(one each per circuit) and provides the operator with a method of resetting the launch indicators from the FIRED to the ARMED position.

(7) Return the SAFE/ARM switch to SAFE.

The ARMED lamp will extinguish.

d. Fire Control Slave Unit Theory of Operation

(fig. 1-9).

(1) The slave unit power source consists of two 12-volt batteries in series, providing 24 vdc power input to power connectors J3(+) and J4 (–) of the slave unit.

(2) A fire command signal applied at

COMMAND terminals J1 and J2 of the slave unit provides a voltage across the voltage divider net- work consisting of resistor R4 and the coil of relay

K1, resulting in energizing the relay coil of K1.

Voltage dropping resistor R4 limits the voltage of the fire command signal when the rocket firing box and fire control slave unit are connected at close range.

(3) When the coil of relay K is energized, the set of NO contacts of K1 are closed, applying voltage to power relay coil K2. With coil K2 energized, the two sets of K2 NC contacts in series with positive and negative sides of the SAFE TO

ARM indicator are open, resulting in the extinguishing of the SAFE TO ARM indicator located on the fire control slave unit. Simultaneously, the two sets of K2 NO contacts located in the positive and negative power output lines are closed. The negative side of the launch command signal is applied through the closed contacts of relay K2 to slave negative output terminal J6. The positive side of the launch command is applied through the closed contacts of relay K2 and routed to fire control slave unit remote ARMED/SAFE switch

S1.

(4) If the ARMED/SAFE switch is set to the

ARMED position, the launch command signal passes through the switch and three 225-watt,

3-ohm, parallel, current-limiting resistors R1, R2,

R3 in series with the positive output line to output terminal J5. The current limiting resistors regulate the launch current for the target, and provide internal overload circuit protection for the fire control slave unit.

(5) If the ARMED/SAF E switch is set to the

SAFE position, the input circuit of the fire control slave unit is isolated from the output and the negative and positive output terminals are shorted together through ARMED/SAFE switch S1 and parallel current limiting resistors R1, R2, R3.

1-7. Radar Field Intensities.

Section III. PERSONNEL SAFETY

The rocket motors and sustainer motor cartridges are susceptible to inadvertent ignition when exposed to certain communication and radar field intensities. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that the target buildup area, storage area, or any handling operations when ordnance items are involved do not have excessive radar or radio frequency energy levels.

1-8. Surface Danger Area.

Figure 1-10 defines the limits of safety when

launching the BATS Target. Strict adherence to the surface danger area will ensure that participating unprotected personnel will be safe from any erratic performance of the target. The danger areas are those for launches of maximum elevation with a forty (40) knot tail and/or broadside wind for which no correction has been applied. In addition, the 205 meter radius about the launch point reflects the danger area from fragments to unprotected personnel in the event that all propulsive units explode, (Reference TM 9-1300-206).

1-9. Handling Precautions.

a. Launcher. The launcher is 13.3 x 5.6 x 7.0

feet with a weight of 560 pounds. When the launcher is being loaded or unloaded from a vehicle a crane should be used. If minor movement of the launcher is required for alinement purposes, personnel in the area can be used. If the launcher is moved the launcher slide should be lowered and the stabilizer arms folded back to the launcher frame.

b. Target. The target is 17.0 x 1.25 feet with a weight of 140 pounds without ordnance items installed. [With ordnance items (2 rocket motors and 2 sustainer cartridges) installed the weight is approximately 175 pounds.] When the target is being loaded on the launcher a sufficient number of personnel should be utilized to prevent injury.

WARNING

Assembly must be performed in an approved area which does not have excessive radar or radio energy levels. Do not operate mobile radio transmitters within

100 meters of any BATS propulsion or ordnance components that have been removed from their shipping containers.

If a 2.75-inch rocket motor or MXU4A/A sustainer motor, crated or uncrated, is dropped a distance exceeding 2 feet on a hard surface such as wood, concrete, metal, or hard-packed earth, reject the motor, and contact the applicable command headquarters for disposition instructions.

When handling the MK40 rocket motor, personnel should avoid touching the exposed firing contact disk and exposed circuitry with the hands, except when necessary to connect the firing lead terminal clip. Never touch the contact disk with any metallic object such as screwdriver, probe, pliers, etc.

The use of battery powered tools (i.e., power screw drivers) to facilitate the ease of assembly of BATS when explosives or other energetic materials are involved is prohibited. The possibility exists for inadvertent activation of the rocket motors or other explosive devices due to stray currents generated by the power tools.

c. Precautions. Handling and safety precautions cannot be overemphasized. The warnings must be heeded and practiced. The MXU4A/A,

LSFFAR, MK66 rocket motor and flare demand the highest regard in their handling. You should avoid when possible standing directly forward or aft of the ordnance.

WARNING

Firing motors that are outside of the specified operating temperature limits could cause erratic flight or motor blowup. The firing limits of the

MK40 and MK66 motors are from

-50 to 150 F.

The operating temperature range specified on the rocket and sustainer motors shall be strictly observed. If the motor has been exposed to temperatures outside of these limits, the motor shall be reconditioned for a period of 6 hours, within the specified temperature limits, prior to use.

1-11. Hazardous Weather Conditions.

a. Lightning. If lightning is prevalent after ordnance items have been brought to the launch site, personnel should be evacuated to a safe distance in case of detonation caused by lightning.

b. High Winds.

If winds over 40 knots are prevalent the launch operations should be stopped.

The launcher(s) should be lowered and targets removed and placed on the ground.

2-6. Wind Meter (Fig. 2-4).

a. The wind meter (fig. 2-4) is a hand-held

device used for measuring wind velocity and is located in the launcher tool box. The wind meter contains a split scale and is divided in miles per hour with conversion tables for nautical miles per hour. Weather data may be used as an alternate when available.

b. To use the wind meter, the approximate direction from which the wind is blowing must be located. To accomplish this, you may drop dirt or sand from shoulder-height and note the direction in which it falls, or you may use any other method which you deem effective. The relative direction will be noted on the work

sheet in appendix D.

c. Face the wind. Hold the meter in front of you in the vertical position, with the scale side toward you. Do not block the bottom holes.

The height of the ball indicates the wind velocity. For the high scale, cover the hole at the extreme top with your finger.

Section II. OPERATING UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS

2-7. Launcher Emplacement (Fig. 1-3).

The launcher equipment is shipped fully assembled (except for two [2] storage batteries and installation of the fire control slave unit), and is ready for emplacement upon completion of

“Service-On-Receipt Inspection.” Launcher emplacement, leveling, and preparation for use are as follows:

a. Locate the emplacement point for the launcher, and mark on the ground. (Location may be provided by physical location on the ground, or by map coordinate reference.)

(1) If location of launch site is given in map coordinates, an azimuth of fire, base angle from an orienting line, or angular reference from an easily definable terrain feature shown on the map and easily located on the ground may be used.

(2) If the launch site location is physically identified on the ground, an azimuth or angular reference from a prominent terrain feature may be used to identify the Target line-of-fire.

(3) Since the necessary angle-measuring instrument may not be available within the unit responsible for the laying and operation of the launcher and target preparation, the use of both personnel and equipment from a supporting unit should be requested in advance. These personnel and equipment may be from: Corps of Engineer

Topographical Survey Unit; Target Acquisition

2-3

TM 9-1340-418-14

Battalion; Division Artillery Headquarters Survey

Platoon; Range Command Office; or the survey section of any artillery battalion. The M2 compass may be satisfactorily used if other instruments are not available. Precision laying (pointing) of the launcher requires the use of a horizontal angle-measuring survey or fire control instrument, a theodolite, transit, timing circle, battery commander’s telescope, or M2 compass.

c. After determining the exact location of the launcher site, set up the angle-measuring instrument, and proceed as follows:

(1) Set up the instrument over the designated point for launcher emplacement, and zero the instrument.

(2) Using the given azimuth, or base angle, or angular reference from a distant aiming point, establish the line-of-fire direction in which the launcher will be oriented.

(3) Without disturbing the position of the instrument, turn to a “back-azimuth” (3200 roils) from the line-of-fire direction. Sight with the, instrument along this new direction line; measure off a distance from the instrument of approximately 10 meters, and mark.

(4) Relocate the instrument to the point marked off in paragraph c(3) above. Turn the instrument (in direction) to the original line-offire direction, using the designated point of launcher emplacement as a sighting point.

d. Position the launcher, in rough orientation, with the center of the pivot column directly over the emplacement point.

e. Place the azimuth control in the center of travel (15 degrees).

f. Using the angle measuring instrument, sight down the slot in the launcher slide. Shift the launcher until the slot is in approximate alinement with the vertical hairline or sight of the instrument. Check to assure that, the pivot column remainted directly over the emplacement point.

g. Extend the leveling jacks until the launcher frame is clear of the ground and resting on the jack pads.

h. Set the elevation dial (fig. 2-2) at 0 degrees

and insure that the launch rail is resting on the front stand.

i. Unlock the telescoping support arm locks by loosening the telescoping support, arm

locking screws (fig. 2-5)

j. Pivot the stabilizer arms outward to an approximate 90 degree angle to the launcher.

k. Center the leveling bubble (fig. 2-3) on the

front of the launcher, using the low side jack to level the bubble.

l. Center the bubble on the elevation dial

(fig. 2-2) by, raising the low end of the

launcher. Then recheck front leveling bubble.

Relevel if required

Set the elevation dial to 35 degrees.

If the targets do not launch, refer to paragraph 2-17.

2-17. Misfire Procedure.

a. The term “misfire” includes all situations in which the rocket motor fails to fire after the entire sequence of events prescribed for launching have occurred. When a misfire occurs, one of the following situations exists:

(1) A “hangfire” may be in effect. A

“hangfire” is an undesired delay in the firing of the rocket after the FIRE COMMAND switch has been closed.

(2) An interruption of the firing circuit may have occurred, preventing the application of firing voltage to the rocket igniter terminals.

(3) An ignition failure may have occurred.

In this situation, firing voltage has been applied to the rocket igniter terminals, but the igniter has failed to ignite.

N O T E

There is no way to distinguish this situation from a hangfire until sufficient time has elapsed after a second attempt to fire the target to rule out the possibility that a hang.

fire is in effect. A 30-minute wait is sufficient.

b .

Perform the following operations:

(1) Move the SAFE/ARM switch on the rocket firing box to SAFE.

(2) Press the RESET switch associated with that launcher.

(3) Move the SAFE/ARM switch to the

ARM position.

(4) Attempt to fire a second time by activating the FIRE COMMAND switch.

(5) If the target again fails to fire, place the SAFE/ARM switch in the SAFE position.

(Other targets connected to the rocket firing box may be fired without delay.)

(6) Turn the key-operated POWER switch to the OFF position and remove the key. The key should be retained by the Fire Control

Officer or his designated representative.

APPENDIX D

FIRING TABLES FOR MK 40 ROCKET MOTORS

D-1. Scope.

This appendix contains firing tables necessary for launching the target when using the MK 40 rocket motors.

a. Launch Quadrant Elevation (QE) Angle Cor-

rection. Tables D-1

through D-5 contain requirements for elevation of the launcher slide versus range, altutude, time of flight, and speed.

Tables D-6 through D-21 contain corrections for

temperature, altitude, and wind speed and direc-

tion which must be used in conjunction with tables

D-1 through D-5. Tables D-6 through D-21 are

differentiated by the number of degrees of launch

elevation which tables D-1 through D-5 indicate

as desired.

b. Launch Azimuth Correction. Tables D-22

through D-29 contain data for correcting the launch azimuth.

D-2. Launch QE Angle Correction.

a. Determine Slide Elevation. Using tables D-1

through D-5 note the slide elevation (QE) required by determining the nominal range, altitude, time of flight, and average velocity needed.

b. Temperature Correction Angle. Using chart 1

in tables D-6 through D-21, determine the number

of degrees of elevation which must be added to, or subtracted from the initial slide elevation as determined in paragraph a above. Record in step 2 on work sheet.

NOTE

Add or subtract step 1 to, or from, step 2 and record in step 3 on work sheet.

c. Altitude Correction. Using chart 2 in tables

D-6 through D-21, determine the number of de-

grees of elevation which must be subtracted from the total number of degrees as determined in paragraphs b and c above. Record in step 4 on work sheet.

NOTE

Subtract step 1 from step 3 on work sheet.

d. Wind Correction Angle. If wind is present in the launch or flight area, a wind correction must be calculated. Determine the direction from which the wind is flowing. (Record in step 6.a. on work sheet.) Record launch azimuth in step 6.b. o n work sheet. Subtract the launch azimuth from the wind azimuth and record in step 6.c. on work sheet. If the launch azimuth is greater than the wind azimuth, add 360 degrees to the wind azimuth. The resulting number is the clockwise angle from the launch azimuth to the wind azimuth

(relative wind angle). Using the wind meter, determine the wind speed. With the relative wind

angle and speed, go to chart 3 on tables D-6

through D-21 and calculate the wind correction angle. Record in step 6.d. on work sheet.

NOTE

Add or subtract the wind correction angle to, or from, step 5 and record in step 7.

D-3. Launch Azimuth Angle Correction.

If wind is present in the launch or flight area, a wind correction must be calculated. Take the relative wind angle from step 6.c. on the work sheet and record in step 8.a. of the work sheet. Using the wind velocity and relative wind angle, deter-

mine the wind correction from tables D-22

through D-29. Record the wind correction angle in step 8.c. Record launcher azimuth position in step

8.b. Add or subtract 8.c. to or from 8.b. a n d record in step 8.d. for the corrected azimuth indicator reading.

D-4. Azimuth Spin Correction.

Azimuth spin correction is negligible and is not

considered in this appendix.

APPENDIX E

FIRING TABLES FOR MK 66 ROCKET MOTORS

E-1. Scope. This appendix contains firing tables necessary for launching the target when using the MK 66 rocket motors.

a. Launch Quadrant Elevation (QE) Angle Correction.

Tables E-1 through E-5 contain the con-

ditions obtained by firing at the elevation angles of column 1. Average velocity is computed between burnout of the rocket motors to burnout of the sustainer motor. If there are no sustainers the average velocity is computed between burnout of the rocket motors and apogee. The lowest elevation angle in each table is established at a 16-second time-of-flight, which corresponds to sustainer

burnout. Tables E-6 through E-21 contain correc-

tions for temperature, altitude, and wind speed and direction which must be used in conjunction

with tables E-1 through E-5. The corrections,

when applied, will give the same impact range as the original choice. In some cases, the notation

“CORRECTION IS NOT POSSIBLE” occurs. This means that increasing the launch elevation will not correct for the loss-of range due to headwind.

b. Launch Azimuth Correction. Tables E-22

through E-31 contain data for correcting the launch azimuth to provide impact on the intended

line of fire. Tables E-23 and E-24 have been

added to better define the corrections for the two motors with sustainer case. There is a slight bias in all of the tables due to rotation of the vehicle.

c. Figure E-1 shows sample plots of velocity

and rocket roll rate versus time for all motor combinations at a 45 degree QE.

E-2. Launch QE Angle Correction (See sample problem).

a. Determine Slide Elevation. Using tables E-1

through E-5, note the slide elevation (QE) required by determining the nominal range, altitude, time of flight, and average velocity needed.

b. Temperature Correction Angle. Using chart

1 in tables E-6 through E-21, determine the num-

ber of degrees of elevation which must be added to, or subtracted from the initial slide elevation as determined in paragraph a above. Record in step

2 on work sheet.

NOTE

Add or subtract step 1 to or from step 2 and record in step 3 on work sheet.

c. Altitude Correction. Using chart 2 in tables

E-6 through E-21, determine the number of de-

grees of elevation which must be subtracted from the total number of degrees as determined in paragraphs b and c above. Record in step 4 work sheet.

on

NOTE

Select table using QE from previous step. See sample problem.

Algebraically add step 1 and step 3 on work sheet.

d. Wind Correction Angle. If wind is present in the launch or flight area, a wind correction must be calculated. Determine the direction from which the wind is blowing. (Record in step 6.a. on work sheet.) Record launch azimuth in step 6.b. o n work sheet. Subtract the launch azimuth from the wind azimuth and record in step 6.c. on work sheet. If the launch azimuth is greater than the wind azimuth, add 360 degrees to the wind azimuth. The resulting number is the clockwise angle from the launch azimuth h the wind azimuth

(relative wind angle). Using the wind meter, determine the wind speed. With the relative wind

angle and speed, go to chart 3 on tables E-6

through E-21 and calculate the wind correction angle. Record in step 6.d. on work sheet.

NOTE

Add or subtract the wind correction angle to or from step 5 and record in step 7.

Change 7

E-1

TM 9-1340-418-14

E-3. Launch Azimuth Angle Correction. If wind is present in the launch or flight area, a wind correction must be calculated, Take the relative wind angle from step 6.c. on the work sheet and record in step 8.a. of the work sheet. Using the wind velocity and relative wind angle, deter-

mine the wind correction from tables E-22

through E-31. Record the wind correction angle in step 8.c. Record launcher azimuth position in step

8.b. Add or subtract 8.c. to or from 8.b. a n d record in step 8.d. for the corrected azimuth indicator reading.

E-4. Azimuth Spin Correction. Azimuth spin correction is negligible and is not considered in this appendix.

SAMPLE PROBLEM

Problem: Fire a BATS Rocket to a desired range of 5000 meters using the least required number of

MK 66 motors. Known and measured conditions: Temperature 90 degrees F, launch altitude 4000 ft., launch azimuth 95 degrees from true north, and wind is 10 knots blowing from 165 degrees from true north.

STEP 1. Use table E-3 where nearest QE to obtain 5000m range is 38 deg, with only 3 MK 66 motors

with sustainers.

STEP 2. Use chart 2 table E-12 for -2 deg correction at QE = 38 deg and T = 90 deg F.

Step 3. Algebraically add Step 1 and Step 2. [38 + (-2)] = 36 degrees.

Step 4. Use chart 2 table E-12 for -3 deg correction at CE = 36 degrees (from step 3) and 4000 ft

altitude.

Step 5. Algebraically add step 3 and step 4.

[36 + (-3)] = 33 to get 33 degrees

STEP 6.

a. 165 deg

b. 95 deg

c. 30 deg relative wind angle

d. Use table E-11, chart 3, since QE from step 5 is 33 degrees, For a 10 knot wind at 70 degrees use

0.0 degrees correction since 70 degrees is closest to 75 relative wind angle.

STEP 7. Total QE angle corrected for wind is step 5 algebraically summed to step 6.c. (33 + 0.0), and is 33 degrees.

STEP 8.

a. 70 deg from step 6.c. above.

b. Value from launcher setting at orientation - normally in mid range at 15 deg.

c. Use table E-24. Since 70 degrees is between 60 and 75 where both are -1 degree. The correction

angle is one full degree.

d. Algebraically add Step 8.b. and 8.c. (move pointer 1 degree higher)

Was brought to you by me:

Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals

Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly available information, slap “watermarks” and other junk on it, and sell it.

Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...

They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not letting you give those free manuals to your friends?

I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US
