This analysis presents a methodology for examining a target's motion history to
investigate those characteristics of target motion which a trained gunner keys
on when selecting shots. Using this methodology, a target motion history is
examined and the criteria which two trained gunners use to pick shots are
described and compared. The hit performance of each gunner is then modeled
establishing a relationship between the target's motion and hit performance
for these two gunners.
