Calibration Course
Planned by the OPS Officer as part of the battery survey plan.
Normally centrally located behind the firing platoons.
Notes:
Title: Calibration Course
Dialogue: The launcher, under specific operating conditions, requires two SCPs, 4 to 6 km apart with a straight route of travel between them. The launcher is driven to the second SCP at about 40 km per hour and the first set of of calibration corrections is determined. The launcher is then driven back to the starting SCP, where a second set of calibration data is computed. If both sets of calibration data are within tolerance, the system is functional and an averaged set of data is used. Calibration is not normally conducted in the OPAREA. The battery operations officer plans the calibration course(s) for the battery as part of his survey plan. They are normally centrally located behind the firing platoons. A valid calibration can be conducted with any weapon loaded when the appropriate cables (W-19 and/or W-20) are connected to the pod.
