Range Safety: Questions & Solutions (100% Accurate)
Surface Danger Zone (SDZ) Right Ans - The ground and air space
designated within the training complex for vertical and lateral containment of
projectiles, fragments, debris, and components resulting from the firing,
launching, or detonation of weapon systems to include explosives and
demolitions.
Dispersion Area Right Ans - The area within the SDZ located between the
GTL and the ricochet area. This area accounts for human error, gun or cannon
tube wear, propellant temperature, and so forth.
Angle P Right Ans - The angle beginning at the firing point, located to the
left and right of the dispersion area, which defines the area which contains
projectiles after making initial contact with the target medium.
Angle Q Right Ans - The angle beginning at distance Y, located to the left
and right of the dispersion area, which defines the area which contains
projectiles after making initial contact with the impact medium.
Area A Right Ans - The secondary danger area that laterally parallels the
impact area or ricochet area and contains fragments, debris, and components
from frangible or explosive projectiles and warheads functioning on the right
or left edge of the impact area or ricochet area.
Area B Right Ans - The secondary danger area on the downrange side of
the impact area and Area A which contains fragments, debris, and components
from frangible or exploding projectiles and warheads functioning on the far
edge of the impact area and Area A.
Gun Target Line Right Ans - An imaginary line drawn between the firing
position and target position. Also referred to as the line of fire.
Firing Position Right Ans - The point or location at which a weapon system
is placed for firing. For demolitions, the firing position is the point or location
at which the firing crew is located during demolition operations.
, Distance X Right Ans - The maximum distance a projectile will travel when
fired or launched at a given quadrant elevation with a given charge or
propulsion system.
Distance Y Right Ans - The maximum distance downrange at which a
lateral ricochet is expected to occur when a projectile is fired at a given
quadrant elevation.
Distance W Right Ans - The maximum lateral distance a projectile will
ricochet after impacting within the dispersion area. Distance W defines the
maximum lateral edge of the ricochet area.
