    Patent number: 4253249
    Abstract: The effects of any errors in the preliminary tracking of a target, and of any subsequent changes in the velocity of the target, are included in simulated firing of a gun 3, by slewing a laser projector 2 in the simulator for the predicted shell time-of-flight at the rate assessed during the preliminary tracking and then scanning with the laser for hit/miss determination. The slewing is achieved either by having the gun control system slew at the required rate, or by having the gunner continue tracking the target, corrections for deviations from the required rate being automatically applied to the projector.
