AA
Artillery - Fixed |
In the
context of AAC, "fixed" should be understood as
"bolted down" to the ground |
|
| |
AA
Artillery - Mobile |
In the
context of AAC, "mobile" should be understood as
being "moveable to another position", in the
sense that, from one mission to the other, some of these
pieces of artillery could be moved toward a different
location. |
|

AA
Artillery - SPAAG |
The
mobile AA artillery by nature, the Selft Propelled Anti
Aircraft Gun is mounted on a truck or armored vehicle |

Either
fixed, mobile or on a vehicle, characteristics are of
identical nature. Besides acceleration, maximum
speed and warhead, surface-to-air missles are
characterized by 4 factors : |
- |
|
| |
|
|
Altitude
Min |
Minimum
altitude at which the missile can operate |
Expressed
in feet: 1 ft = 0.3048 metre |
|
| |
|
|
Altitude
Max |
Maximum
altitude the missile can reach |
Expressed
in feet: 1 ft = 0.3048 metre |
|
| |
|
|
Manoeuvrability |
Amount
of G a missile can pull to follow the target it is
tracking - temporary data due to
total lack of information |
Expressed
in G: 1 g = 9.81m/sec˛ |
|
| |
|
|
Range |
horizontal
range : in practice superseded by the TimeOut |
Expressed
in nautical mile: 1 nm = 1.852km |
|
| |
|
SAM
BATTERY |
A
SAM battery has a variable number of launchers |
- |
|
