Captain Nemo is correct 5 knots, for TSAM or Harpoon, I seldom use TSAMS, as they are no longer carried on Ships and Subs, they were converted to TLAMs. With Harpoons I try to be a Little over 10k yards to make sure.

TMA is the process through which you can estimate a contact's position, speed, and course. This information is used by the fire control computer to determine the proper intercept course for the missile. The information should also be used by the user (you) to determine the proper presets for the weapon to ensure maximim effectiveness and to minimize the possibility of hitting another contact.
