Abstract
A method for firing a computerized radar weapon system upon a fast target to reduce errors in aim caused by aim-biasing factors that vary in time and space includes computing a point along an extrapolated target track ahead of the target at which to stage an interception. A spotting round is fired at the point to zero-in just before the interception and then a correctly-aimed intercept round is fired at the point in time to make the interception. Additional interceptions may be staged at backup intercept points to guard against a miss, a burst of spotting rounds may be fired at an intercept point to average out perturbations in the trajectory of the projectile from each one of the rounds, and conventional monopulse radar methods of aim bias measurement may be employed to detect projectile miss information.
