(2) The trajectory safety officer must be provided with layouts of the training complex on which the SDZ and trajectory corridor for the particular firing have been defined. The trajectory safety officer must also be provided a means of accurately tracking and plotting the course of a missile during trajectory. Firings normally will be made to a moving aerial target rather than a point in space. In this case, a composite SDZ, which is based on the two extreme azimuth intercept points, will be required. Target azimuth, target elevation, and target velocity will establish the intercept locus (path of moving intercept points). Control of the time interval for launch will establish boundaries for the intercept locus. Figures 12–6 and 12–7 can be used for developing a composite SDZ. Dimensions for Area B will be as shown in table 12–1. Distance X will be based upon the maximum altitude for the predicted intercept point as given in table 12–1. Maximum range for predicted intercept point will establish the inner boundary for Area B. Distance W must be maintained between the "predicted intercept point" and Area B. Figure 12–6.
