The development of a laser rangefinder based instrumentation system for use in analyzing the accuracy of Naval gunfire is described. This system was installed at the San Clemente Island Shore Bomdardment Area to provide accurate fall of shot and ship position data for use in analysing ballistic accuracy and ship navigation. The system has been used to simplify the conduct of ship exercises and to support technical evaluations of new weapon systems. (Author)
