FM 44-62 CHAPTER 2 AUTOMATIC WEAPON GUNNERY PROBLEM. 2-1, General Basically, the ADA AW gunnery problem is one of predicting the future position of the target and firing so that projectile and target arrive at that position simultaneously. The sights of AW systems are designed to aid gunners in solving this problem. The solution of the ADA AW gunnery problem is based on certain assumptions, It is assumed that the target will fly a straight course during engagement, that it will maintain its pres- ‘ent speed during engagement, and that the closest it will come to the gun during its flight is a distance (midpoint slant range) fixed by the target's present course. 2-2.
