Constructing 120mm Tank Cannon SDZ
Construct a 120mm tank cannon SDZ
for that weapon firing the M830 HEATMP-T cartridge into steel.
Dimensions of the SDZ for this weapon
system are given in DA-PAM 385-63,
Chapter 12, Table 12-2.
First, plot the firing point, target, and
then establish the gun target line.

Plot the target.
Establish the gun target line.
Plot the firing point.

From Table 12-2,
find Distance X
(steel).
Annotate
Distance X on
the legend.
Distance X
Distance X =
6589m (ˆ6600m)
August 2003
Draw tic marks
as shown.
Distance X
At the firing point,
measure 5° from
the left and right
of the gun target
line.
5°

This completes
the Dispersion
Area.
Distance X
To establish the
lateral limits of
the Dispersion
Area, draw a
straight line from
the firing position
through each tic
mark out to
Distance X.

Lightly draw lines
perpendicular to
the limits of the
Dispersion Area.

For the Ricochet
Area, on Table
12-5, find the
measurement for
Distance W
(steel).

Draw straight
lines through
the tic marks.
Distance X
Draw tic marks
at the
measurement
for Distance W
on the lines just
drawn.

On Table 12-2,
find the Angle P.
At the firing
point, measure
12° from the left
and right limits
of the
Dispersion Area.
