Abstract: This paper seeks to investigate the calculation of the prediction angle of the fire control problem. An integrated prediction angle of fire control system including a movable gun and line-of-sight tracker was derived analytically. Numerical methods developed over many years will be used to calculate the prediction angle components (lead, curvature correction, and jump correction). The most challenging computational problem associated with fire control has always been determined using projectile trajectory. Prediction equations of motion must be solved simultaneously to determine the location of the future point of impact. Because targets are small and move rapidly in three dimensions, a system of automatic computation and transmission of firing data to the gun had become necessary to the satisfactory solution of the fire control problem. In this paper, we will make use of the numerical theory to develop an accurate and efficient scheme for predicting the present and future position of a manoeuvring target.
