What are the roll and cross-roll for the AMG?

• A. 1.0 roll and 8 cross roll
• B. 0.75 roll and 6 cross roll
• C. 0.5 roll and 10 cross roll
• D. 0.25 roll and 12 cross roll

Answer: (C)

Understanding how the AMG uses roll and cross-roll corrections helps you see why a small roll adjustment paired with a larger cross-roll adjustment is the right balance. Roll handles rotation around the weapon’s forward axis, which can tilt the line of sight but often requires only a light touch to keep tracking stable. Cross-roll, on the other hand, corrects rotation around the axis perpendicular to the line of sight, and errors here tend to have a bigger impact on where the system actually guides the missile relative to the target. So you want a modest roll correction to avoid overreacting to small roll motions, and a stronger cross-roll correction to reliably bring the aim back on target when cross-axis misalignment occurs. That’s why a value like 0.5 for roll and 10 for cross-roll makes sense: it provides just enough roll correction while ensuring cross-roll compensation is sufficient to maintain accurate tracking. Other configurations would either overcorrect roll or undercorrect cross-roll, leading to tracking errors, which is why they’re less effective.
