Abstract: In a method for automatically measuring aiming errors and correcting aiming values in the aiming and firing of ballistic weapons at moving targets the continuously supplied direction values (A', E'+.sigma.) of a target position measurement, corrected for daily influences and for the superelevation, are compared with the aiming values (.alpha.+.epsilon.) of at least one gun (2) in a series of successive time intervals after storage of the gun aiming values (.alpha.+.epsilon.) in a memory (3) for a period corresponding with the instantaneous time of flight of the projectile (.tau.).
