I wouldn't have thought that there would be any useful PD software.  The stuff we used was in unix and written for the environment.  It was tied into the hi speed cameras, solenoids and sensor gates.

The easiest way to find max range is to look it up in the FT.  Of course this gives the range under standard conditions.  For a computer its not just the program its also the aeroballistic data.

 

NATO nations are moving over to the NABK, the NATO Armaments Ballistic Kernel, this is a fully and compehensively tested program written in Ada 95 and developed under NATO auspices that meets safety critical criteria using the modified point mass model (which uses 4 degrees of freedom).  This will run OK on a PC (basically that's what armies such as UK are using, (google 'FCA' or 'FC BISA' and look a LogicaCMG's stuff)).  However, my understanding is that it's only available to NATO nation governments.

Why do you ask?
