TUTORIAL VIDEO: Advanced Firing Solution using Sonar only

WernerSobe · 04-20-07, 12:56 AM

This Tutorial will explain how to use sonar and position keeper in order to make a firing solution without visual contact. It requires basic knowledge of plotting and creating firing solutions. (17 minutes)

At First, forgive me my accent and mistakes, english is not my native language.
It comes in two parts because MyVideo can only host videos shorter then 10 minutes.
And in high resolution version (67mb).

PART 2 http://www.myvideo.de/watch/1280691

HIGHRES 2. Mirror http://www.mediafire.com/?1mayy2ymgmj

Procedure

1. Locate the target with sonar (or radar) and plot the course
2. Bring your boat to good firing position
3. Estimate speed with distance (nM between 2 locations) / time (minutes between 2 locations) * 60.
4. Estimate AoB
5. Start position keeper
6. Update PK with new bearing and range from sonar until the target reaches good firing angle
7. Set up the torpedos and fire.
