Research paper. The Second TSME International Conference on Mechanical Engineering, 19-21 October, 2011, Krabi. – 7 p.This paper presents the development of the firing table software for computing firing solutions for an artillery projectile. Unlike traditional tabular firing tables, in which the firing solution is determined by interpolating standard condition data then applying correction factors, the iterative search approach employed in this study uses a trajectory model to predict the point of impact in the non-standard conditions and uses search algorithms to converge to the firing solution. The concept and method used in the firing table software are explained and applied to the 155-mm HE M107 projectile. The demonstration program was tested with test cases in non-standard conditions. The results are presented and discussed.Contents:
