Center reticle lead value is?

Center reticle lead value is?

• A. 0 degree
• B. 2 degrees
• C. 4 degrees
• D. 6 degrees

Answer: (A)

Lead value is the angular offset you would use in the sight to anticipate where a moving target will be when the missile reaches it. When the reticle is centered on the target, there is no offset to apply through the sight, so the center reticle lead value is zero degrees. In other words, you aim with the reticle on the target and let the missile’s guidance handle the intercept from that centered position. The other degree options would only come into play if you were instructed to offset the aim, but with a centered reticle there’s no lead to apply.
