DEFINITIONS
The following specs are given for each entry, where appropriate and available.
Armament. For tanks and armoured vehicles, number and types of weapons
mounted on vehicle.
ATGW. Anti-Tank Guided Weapon.
Body diameter. Of a missile, given in metres at the widest point.
Calibre. For artillery and guns, interior diameter of the barrel given in millimetres.
For ammunition, designates which artillery the ammunition can be used with.
Combat radius. For aircraft, distance in nautical miles it can fly from base and
retain enough fuel to return, when loaded as for a combat mission.
Effective range. For a radar system, the maximum distance at which a contact
can be accurately detected, given in kilometres.
Field of view/field of regard. For sensors, the range of horizontal degrees
(azumith or bearing) or vertical degrees (elevation) in which a sensor can
effectively perform detection.
G limit. Structural limit to the gravity-force an aircraft is able to withstand.
Guidance. For missiles, the system used to guide it to target.
Height. For aircraft and ground vehicles, measured at highest point off the ground
unless otherwise indicated, given in metres.
Hovering ceiling. For helicopters, maximum altitude in metres at which a hover
can be maintained.
Launch weight. Of a missile, weight in kilograms prior to launch (propellant is
consumed as the missile flies, reducing its weight).
Length. For aircraft, missiles or ground vehicles, measured in metres at longest
point.
Max level speed. For aircraft, maximum attainable speed during level flight, given
by Mach number (or in knots).
Max range. For aircraft, maximum distance (in nautical miles) flown without
refueling. For missiles, maximum distance (in kilometres) at which target can be
hit. For radar systems, maximum distance (in kilometres) at which a contact can
be picked up. For ground vehicles, maximum distance (in kilometres) travelled
without refuelling.
Max rate of climb. The fastest rate at which an aircraft is capable of gaining
altitude, given in metres gained per minute.
Max speed. For missiles and vehicles, maximum attainable speed given in
kilometres per hour.
