Indirect Fire Plotting Board

An Indirect Fire Plotting Board is a tool used in the field of fire control for indirect fire. It is part of the supply class Fire Control Computing Sights and Devices, which falls under the supply group Fire Control Equipment.

The Indirect Fire Plotting Board is designed to assist in the planning and execution of indirect fire missions. It typically consists of a large, flat surface with a grid pattern marked on it. The grid allows for precise measurement and plotting of target locations, as well as the calculation of firing data.

The board is used by fire control personnel to plot the location of targets, determine the direction and distance to the targets, and calculate the necessary adjustments for accurate indirect fire. It is an essential tool for coordinating and directing artillery or mortar fire.

The Indirect Fire Plotting Board is typically used in conjunction with other fire control equipment, such as range finders, compasses, and ballistic computers, to ensure accurate and effective fire support.

Overall, the Indirect Fire Plotting Board is a critical component of fire control systems, enabling accurate targeting and efficient execution of indirect fire missions.
