What is the initial focus of the tramming procedure?

The initial focus of the tramming procedure is to establish the initial train and elevation tram settings. This step is crucial for aligning the weapon system correctly before it can function effectively. The tram settings refer to the adjustments that allow the weapon to be pointed at the correct elevation and azimuth for targeting purposes. Proper tram alignment ensures that subsequent operations, such as targeting and firing, are accurate and effective. If the tram settings are not correctly established, it can lead to misalignment, which may result in ineffective targeting and potential operational failures.

Other considerations, such as ensuring ammunition compatibility, testing weapon functionality, or calibrating guidance systems, are also important in the overall operation of weapon systems but they occur after the initial tram settings have been established. These steps rely on having a properly set up weapon system to function effectively.
