Evaluation of the Main Gun of the M60 Tank against Moving Ground Targets

(Брюс Чарльз, Эклес Андрей, Форман Стивен. Оценка основного орудия танка М60 по движущимся наземным целям). Report. McLean, Virginia: Research Analysis Corporation. 1965. – 69 р. This paper evaluates employment of the main gun of the M60 tank against moving ground targets. The results are from a live-fire experiment conducted at Ft. Stewart, Georgia, during the period 25 Jun - 6 Jul 63. Of chief interest are the hit probabilities against moving targets of armor-piercing discarding-sabot and training-practice rounds for the 105-mm main gun and the accuracy and consistency of observer sensing of firings of those ammunitions. However, such other intermediate results as miss distance and lay error are also reported because they support the results concerning hit probability.
