Appendix A A-16 ATP 3-09.42 1 March 2016 battalion fire direction center or by the brigade FSO and fires cell planners and targeting officers by using the safety zone table (see Table A-3). An example of this process is shown in Figure A-2. An alternative method is to use the mine safety template in Figure A-3 on page A-18. See TC 3-09.81 for instruction. The engineer coordinator is responsible for disseminating the safety zones to appropriate units. Table A-3.

A-65. Use the following fired minefield data: Type of projectile fired (area denial antipersonnel mines or remote antiarmor munition systems). Trajectory (high or low angle). Range (to minefield center). Technique (meteorological data + velocity error/transfer or observer adjust). Aimpoint coordinate(s) (single or left and right). A-66. Enter the table at the nearest range for the projectile type and trajectory. Use the correct employment technique column to determine the size of the safety zone. Draw the determined safety zone centered over each aimpoint to establish the minefield safety zone
