How to Measure the Azimuth
by the horizontal scale value
on the MIL Reticle
The Azimuth is the angle of horizontal devi-
ation from the north. As in the figure showed,
the azimuth of the ship at 60 MILs (40+20)
is determined by the horizontal scale value
easily and directly same way as the angular
elevation measurement.
How to Measure Height or Length of
a target object when the distance is
known
Based on the way of Angular Elevation meas-
urement or Azimuth measurement, we can
determine the height or length of the target
object by a simple formula as following:
Height (m) =
Distance (km) x Angular Elevation
respectively
Length (m) =
Distance (km) x Azimuth
