Which factor is added to normal mission reaction times to account for target range?

• A. Time of Flight
• B. Wind Speed
• C. Temperature
• D. Humidity

Answer: (A)

Time of Flight is the time a round needs to travel from the weapon to the target. When you’re planning a firing solution for a target at range, you add this travel time to your base reaction time so the round arrives where and when you intend. As range increases, the flight time grows, so the total timing accounts for that delay. Wind, temperature, and humidity affect the projectile’s path during flight, but they don’t change how long the round takes to reach the target; that travel time is determined by muzzle velocity and range, captured by Time of Flight.
