7-32. BATTLE POSITION MAPS. The battle position map CRT pages are information
displays that provide graphic data related to battle/firing positions and associated
target sites and provide the instructor with a 12- by 12-km graphic overview of the
ownship and the target engagement area of interest.
a. There are 34 designated battle positions included in the visual gaming area-
(Figure 7-19 is a typical battle position MP
CRT page 325.)
These battle
posi-
tions each include from one to eight firing positions. The battle positions are
designed in 1-kilometer squares and should be entered from only one side of the
square kilometer. The battle position is composed of relatively high terrain that
overlooks target engagement areas (low terrain containing target sites). Within
each battle position are nap-of-the-earth (NOE) routes leading to the firing
positions.
b. The battle position raps are always oriented on the CRT display so that mag-
netic north is up. Each battle position map shows the battle position by number
and all of the active target sites within its area of view. Since each battle
position has one or more firing positions, several fields-of-fire are available to
the trainee. Each battle position has been designed with eight selectable fields-
of-fire for the instructor to choose from when viewing the target sites in the
target engagement areas.
The battle position map CRT pages are in group 3 (GRAPHICS) and can be acces-
c.
sed via the data entry keyboard (CRT pages 301-334). In the index and control area
of the CRT page when battle position maps are displayed, control reference numbers
a r e provided to permit selection of fields-of-fire. When the page is first called
up, the field-of-fire is defaulted to the entry point. Each battle position has
only one entrance side, shown on the map with an index. Starting in the upper
right corner of the battle position, the fields-of-fire are numbered 1 through 8 in
a clockwise direction. In the control area, reference number 01 is the command far
selecting the FIELD OF FIRE number. Reference numbers 02 and 03 are aircraft TRACK
ERASE and TRACK RECALL. respectively. Reference number 01 can be entered via the
data entry keyboard while the map is displayed (e.g., 01 TAB 6 ENTER), and causes
t h e viewing direction of the field-f-fire to change for the specified battle posi-
t i o n . As fields-of-fire are selected (advanced), the map automatically repositions
in relation to the battle position to maintain the maximum field-of-view in the
d i r e c t i o n o f t h e f i e l d - o f - f i r e ( i . e . , w h e n field-of-fire 6 is selected, the battle
position is displayed on the left side of the CRT page and centered vertically:
when field-of-fire 2 is selected, the battle position is displayed on the right
side of the CRT page and centered vertically).
d. The selected sensor system field-of-view is graphically shown by two radii
from the ownship, at the battle position, out to 10 kilometers. The angle sub-
tended between the radii is representative of the field-of-view selected for the
sensor system (i.e., wide, narrow, medium, or zoom). The radii are dashed lines
e . When targets have been selected and positioned on the target sites within a
battle position map, target symbols appear on the map. When intervisibility or LAB
exists between the ownship and any target(s). the target symbol(s) illuminate in
high intensity.
f . Battle position map displays can be used to determine which target sites are
in proximity of a battle/firing position, observe the relationship between ownship
