Being a Forward Observer in a LAV OPV, I can honestly say that when the equipment is working correctly (all of the on-board systems), we can have a first round hit within 50m of the target, then re-calculating where that round just landed, we can have a FFE for a second round hit.  If we do a...

and what with observer23's immense knowledge in his toon time job, we can see just how far two thirds of his career can go UBIQUE  :salute:

Welcome GI JANE If your ever in 2 Guns territory, look us up. :salute:

Being in the Artillery now for 11 yrs, I can attest that there is allot of good in the Artillery and some bad. I love where I am right now as a Fire Effects Technician (the new big word for Forward Observation Officers Technician). I have been in th OP's for going on 8 years now and am not...

yes, that is what I am looking for, I can get them from the TFT's, but I was hoping they were already done by someone else. :salute:

What I am looking for is zone time of flight tables, per tables and ped tables that might already be made us (as opposed to getting out the tft's and redoing it).

Was looking for anyone out there that is an MFC or Advanced MFC. I am looking for any information that may be out there in the units with regards to lane / zone / time of flight tables / per's / ped's etc. If there is anyone out there that could pass the info on to me, it would be much...

Thanks You know what we were working at , I brought it home with me but the disk was corrupted and I lost it all. If you hear who is there, let me know.

I am looking for anyone who is currently deployed or who may have replaced us in Afghanistan as a Forward Observer. Am looking for some info of stuff that we were working on before we left to come back to Canada. E-mail me here and I will give you my work e-mail. Thanks :salute: :cdn:

I am not going to start anything here because this is getting right off topic, but look at why those systems crashed and you will see the problem associated with it. Most of the crashes were mechanical in nature not operator error. :salute:

hey justin still hanging out here with the guns, we have got to get together sometime for a few beers have a good one Lee  :salute:

recceguy - it is on paper somewhere, and you as armoured should be able to find it, but because of OP SEC, snowpuncher is not able to quote where the information has come from. I can verify this info as correct as can tech, that unless things change shortly on the TO&E, there will be no...

The artillery right now is not getting a version of this nor do I believe it will be in the near future. For the time it takes to set-up and tear down, it is to time consuming for the task that we are to be used for. We may be getting mini UAV's but that would be about it. Thanks for the info.

Can anyone tell me the amount of time it takes to set up and have the Coyote Surv. Suite fully operational? :salute:

Thought it was an okay gun. When we did our exchange in the UK, we did allot of firing as we repaced 7 RHA who was tasked to the Artillery school at the time. We did all of their taskings for about 6 weeks and saw more firing there than I have done here in Canada for a long time. We fired for...

From an Arty Guy's point of view, the Attack Helo, although nice could not replace the 105mm cannon of the Stryker (or whatever we finally decide on). As stated the helo is not an all weather 24/7 piece that will be there when the combat team needs it. And as a forward observer, I know all to...

AS in more I meant that we do what the Infantry and Armour do, then we have to go do our own thing as well.  :salute:

Qualified as in did the courses required. Did an exchange in the UK for 2 months for the AS 90 and a month for the M109A6 in the US at fort Sill. :salute:

In 2 RCHA we have started doing what is called simultaneous impact procedures. From the command post end, this is time consuming as they have to compute data for each round to land on the target at the same time as well as control the time of firing of each round(s).

Currently 2 RCHA id looking at going to 3 OP Parties per battery. Two of those will be LAV equipped and the third will be the light/para/airmobile OP. As of now the BC of Fox battery wants all OP's in Fox to be qualified Para. As well the regiment gets a fair amount of openings for jump courses...
