About

of each tabular firing table (TFT) allows the FDC to select the optimum charge to use for accuracy and target ranges. In deciding the specific charge to fire, the FDC must consider all available information, including: (1) The enemy electronic warfare (EW) and target acquisition capabilities existing in the target area (e.g., relative mix of sound and flash (SF) units versus counterbattery radars). (2) Existing weather conditions at the time of firing and the effect on the enemy's use of his assets (e.g., clear and calm weather favors SF; windy and foggy conditions favor counterbattery radars). (3) The type of fires requested, including consideration of time constraints (e.g., speed (suppressive effects) versus accuracy (neutralization of soft targets)).
