A sniper observes a target that is known to be $$1.8$$ meters tall. Using a mil-dot reticle, the target subtends $$3$$ mils. Using the formula $$R = \frac{H \times 1000}{M}$$ , calculate the range to the target. If the sniper's effective range is $$600$$ meters, is the target within effective range?

Range = $$600$$ meters; exactly at the limit

Range = $$540$$ meters; within effective range

Range = $$600$$ meters; outside effective range

Range = $$900$$ meters; outside effective range

A military engineer is designing a targeting system. A target of known width $$5$$ meters subtends $$2.5$$ mils at range $$R_1$$ . After the target moves, it now subtends $$5$$ mils. Using the mil relation $$R = \frac{W \times 1000}{M}$$ , determine the new range $$R_2$$ and analyze how the range changed relative to $$R_1$$ .

$$R_2 = 1000$$ meters; the target moved to half the original distance

$$R_2 = 2000$$ meters; the target moved twice as far

$$R_2 = 500$$ meters; the target moved to one-quarter the original distance

$$R_2 = 2500$$ meters; the target moved $$500$$ meters farther

A forward observer identifies two separate targets. Target A is $$2$$ meters wide and subtends $$4$$ mils. Target B is $$3$$ meters wide and subtends $$3$$ mils. Using the formula $$R = \frac{W \times 1000}{M}$$ , calculate the range to both targets and determine which target is farther away and by how many meters.

Target A is at $$500$$ m, Target B is at $$1000$$ m; Target B is farther by $$500$$ m

Target A is at $$400$$ m, Target B is at $$900$$ m; Target B is farther by $$500$$ m
