Abstract
A method for carrying out shelling of a target with a plurality of ammunition units fired successively from a single barrel rapid-firing ordnance piece includes supplying data to a computer means regarding the target to be shelled, generating by the computer means in response to the input data, an output data for controlling at least one of the following: the ordnance piece and the flight parameters of the respective ammunition units. The controlling of the ordnance piece and the ammunition units during firing of the successive ammunition unit from the single barrel ordnance is coordinated for imparting to the ammunition units different flight times between the ordnance piece and the target selecting the different flight times such that the ammunition units reach the target at approximately the same time after the launch from the ordnance piece.
