Painting (military)
The brushing of a site is the proper installation and use of firearms to take to the greatest possible area under effective fire.
In the art of fortification , this concerns individual ramparts and the existing trenches, in that the line intended for flanking should be at a right angle . Separate works are mutually arranged in this sense.
The swept area is the distance measured on the level floor, within which the floor path does not rise above the target height. That can be the height of the rider or a whole, half or quarter of a man's height. The length of the swept area depends on the design of the weapon , the ammunition , the firing range , the increasing curvature of the path , the target height , the stroke height of the shooter, the lead point and the slope of the land at the destination.
In the modern military, the term coating is also used for electronic marking, for example the infrared illumination of a target for guiding air-to-surface missiles or intelligent bombs .
