Can you further explain how to figure out the speed of target.

400 meter in 3 min 15 sec = 400 / 100 = 4 kts.

What is the 100? and does the time have anything to do with it.

Thanks for the help

The 100 is just the constant you divide by.

The distance traveled in meters by the target in 3 minutes and 15 seconds divided by 100 is their speed. So 400 meters = 4 kts, 1100 meters = 11 kts.

If you're using Imperial measurements (Yards instead of Meters) then you only count for 3 minutes and divide by 100. 1000 yards in 3 minutes = 10 kts.
