I've read about and seen History Chanel coverage of this but maybe you have something you can share. How do they get rounds on target at the exact time they intend them from different firing positions?

Somethings I can discuss but a lot of things in Firepower that are relevant and either in current service or development that I can't talk about.
I can say that with heavy artillery back in the day ....we shoot into a box (same as B-52's hit a target) and you don't want all the rounds to impact one point but rather spread out in a designated box which causes more of a lethal impact and expands the kill zone exponentially. FDC (Fire Direction Center) coordinates all fires and let's each gun know exactly when to fire. I can't say anymore than that. Sorry.

Don't be sorry, there's some types of information I would rather not have on the internet.

Thanks. I wasn't looking for National secrets. I think the US Army does an awesome job. I read too many WEB Griffin novels.

It's all on the Internet, but you are not going to find it with just a simplistic Google search.

Thanks Stan. I have the TOR browser on my Macbook but rarely (almost never) use it. I need to learn to use it. It is definitely a different internet. I went there from a magazine article. There is a lot going on away from yahoo and facebook.
Novelists are writing amazing feats of artillery fire and the History channel has shown video of amazing directed fire. My curiosity is of how the heck can they do that is just curiosity.

I just downloaded a .pdf file on how to find the hidden tunnel back entrance to the Area 51 hanger where the Roswell aliens are cryogenicaly frozen.
