rangefinding

Sniper rifles can use stadiametric rangefinding to adjust for long-range shooting.

Italian rangefinding was better than the Allied, and within three minutes they had found the distance even though they were firing at extreme range.

That meant Hansen had no radar, no lasers-no emission rangefinding of any sort.

Pollen became interested in the problem of naval rangefinding after witnessing gunnery practice at sea in 1900.

A radar system that could provide accurate and rapid rangefinding would greatly improve their chances of successfully engaging an aircraft.

A funnel cap was installed so that smoke from the funnels did not interfere with accurate rangefinding of enemy ships.

Stadiametric rangefinding, or the stadia method is a technique of measuring distances with a telescopic instrument.

Lower-powered lasers are currently used for military purposes as laser target designators and for military rangefinding.

A simple fire-control director was added for the 138 mm guns and 15 additional rangefinders were installed for use by the Rangefinding School.

Because the atmosphere is quite transparent to infrared light, CO lasers are also used for military rangefinding using LIDAR techniques.

Stadiametric rangefinding is used for surveying and in the telescopic sights of firearms, artillery pieces, or tank guns, as well as some binoculars and other optics.

Better instruments were available for rangefinding and position-finding and a system of Fortress rangefinding was introduced to obtain accurate data for targets at extreme ranges.

Experimentally, new developments in space exploration, electronics and condensed matter physics have made additional precise experiments possible, such as the Pound-Rebka experiment, laser interferometry and lunar rangefinding.

Stadia marks, also called stadia lines or stadia hairs, are crosshairs on the reticle of a theodolite or other surveying instrument that allow stadiametric rangefinding.

In combination with a laser rangefinding/targeting system, it is reported to be extremely accurate as well as powerful, capable of destroying a target with as few as three to five rounds.

The summaries reflect the three main divisions of the exhibition - Gunnery, Rangefinding and Surveying, and Fortification - and also cover Troop Formations and the Telescope.

During the early part of WWII new rangefinding and fire control equipment was introduced, paving the way to conversion to the Coast Defence / Anti Aircraft role in 1942.

Although the Allies' rangefinding was not as good and they had trouble with their rounds falling short, the Allied gunlaying was better and they were able to place their rounds in much tighter groups.

There are many independent observations limiting the possible variation of Newton's gravitational constant, but one of the best comes from lunar rangefinding which suggests that the gravitational constant does not change by more than one part in 10 per year.
