... the gun barrels are fitted with muzzle velocity sensors, which are linked to the fire control computer, so the actual speed of the round can be taken into account when the computer calculates the lead angle necessary to hit a moving target. This is necessary as the speed of the round when leaving the barrel may vary depending on the ammunition manufacture date and age, moisture content, the barrel wear, etc.  3, record 1, English, - muzzle%20velocity%20sensor

Projectile muzzle velocity sensor mounted on T-84 MBT [main battle tank] turret roof. As an option, the tank fire-control system can also include a projectile muzzle velocity sensor, which measures the velocity in question and feeds information to the tank’s fire control ballistic computer after each firing of the gun to allow to automatically correct for gun bore wear, charge temperature and other factors.  2, record 1, English, - muzzle%20velocity%20sensor

MILES is a system the Army uses for wargames. You mount a small box, the transmitter, on the end of the barrel of your weapon, and wear a harness that has several straps on the front and back with infrared receptors on them. You also have a key that is normally in the transmitter to enable it. The transmitter has a microphone in it, and whenever a shot is fired, the sound causes it to fire a coded IR laser beam. The sensors on the harness are wired to a box on the back which detects when you have been hit. If you are, a beeper starts sounding loudly. To turn it off you have to take the key out of the transmitter, thus disabling it, and put it in a switch in the harness. Then you are "dead", and have to wait for an observer to come around with a special key that can reset the harness. They can also use the God gun, which is so called because it can fire pulses that will "kill" you like the other transmitters, but it can also fire pulses that reset your harness(bring you back to life...)  1, record 3, English, - God%20gun
