The article deals with the mutual relation between the accuracy of the target range measurement and the accuracy of fire. The stereoscopic target range measurement and its errors are briefly described in the first part. The second part of the article is focused on the impact of inaccurate target range measurement on projectile’s vertical position of the point of impact. Various ballistic systems are used for the simulation of the effect. Results of simulations are discussed from two points of view. First point of view is the use of the results for the selection of the most suitable ballistic system for the firing on the target at given range. The second one offers utilisation of the results for the setting of requirements on the accuracy of target range measurement for given ballistic system and size of the target.
