Sound Ranging Set

A Sound Ranging Set is a type of equipment used in fire control systems. It falls under the supply class of Miscellaneous Fire Control Equipment, which is part of the supply group Fire Control Equipment.

Sound Ranging Sets are used to determine the location of enemy artillery or other loud noises by measuring the time it takes for the sound to reach different microphones or sensors. This information is then used to calculate the position of the source of the sound.

These sets typically consist of multiple microphones or sensors placed at different locations, along with a central control unit or computer that processes the data and calculates the source location. They may also include additional equipment such as amplifiers, filters, and recording devices.

Sound Ranging Sets are important tools in military operations as they provide valuable information about the location and movement of enemy artillery, allowing for effective countermeasures and tactical planning.
