Artillery Survey

Artillery Survey

Data is displayed for the academic year: 2025./2026.

Course Description

Introduce students with topographic and geodetic support, organization and conduct in artillery and manouevre units through documentation, elaboration, instruments and devices during the preparation in operating and fire control. Enable them in conducting topographic and geodetic preparation within the process of operating and fire control of artillery units.

Study Programmes

undergraduate
Field Artillery - course
(7. semester)

Learning Outcomes

  1. Use the Plan of Topographic and Geodetic Support and the Topographic and Geodetic Support Scheme;
  2. Use instruments and device for collecting data, accessories and means for data processing (calculator; computer);
  3. Differentiate among the forms of Topographic and Geodetic Preparation and apply them accordingly;
  4. Prepare accurate co-ordinates to weapons in firing position, observation post, landmarks and targets and check the target direction of the fire arms by applying one of the prescribed ways of determing it;
  5. Apply activities and procedures of the preparation required for successful operating and fire control.
  6. Connect activities and procedures clearly, meaningfully and command and report by respecting the procedures of the communication;
  7. Organize activities and procedures to the subordinates and conduct continuous control of their work;
  8. Apply acquired knowledge in further process of studying and in the work of units after the completion of the study;
  9. Apply acquired knowledge in the work with subordinates in the training process;
  10. Use technical and technological achievements in the development of instruments and devices, educate professionaly and update knowledge and convey it together with skills to the subordinates;
