METHOD FOR ARMAMENT CONTROL Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F41G5/24 

FIELD: method for control of military equipment.

SUBSTANCE: the speed of the vertical air current is measured, the angular correction for this speed is measured with due account made for the aerodynamic characteristics of the shot projectile, and the position of the gun barrel relative to the aiming line is corrected by summing up the angular correction and the elevation angle of the gun barrel relative to the aiming line. At shooting by a guided missile the height and the time of dispersion of the dust-smoke cloud formed at a shot is additionally measured, their values are compared respectively with the height of the aiming line and the time of lock-on by the guidance system of the guided missile, and if the values of the first ones exceed the values of the second ones, the elevation angle of the gun barrel is additionally increased by the value not exceeding the angular elevation of the height of the aiming line by the dust-smoke cloud and providing the allowable time of approach of the guided missile to the aiming line.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of fire by 10 to 15 per cent, and at shooting on a mountainous-desert terrain with vertical air currents by more than 20 per cent.
