FM 3-22.1area beyond the dead space is engageable, close the circle. For example, you would closethe dead space outline in an area of lower elevation, because you could not engage thearea beyond it.(4) Figure 7-16, page 7-30 shows how to draw and identify each MEL. Draw it alongthe weapon's maximum effective engagement range, except where dead space limitsrange. In these cases, draw the MEL along the front (near) edge of the dead space. For anexample of an exception to this guidance, note how Figure 7-15, page 7-29, shows theMEL for HE extending beyond the dead space. This indicates a higher elevation whereHE area suppression is possible. MELs are not drawn through dead spaces. Themaximum effective ranges for Bradley weapon systems are--• Coax -- 900 meters (tracer burnout)• APDS-T -- 2,000 meters (tracer burnout)• APFSDS-T -- 2,500 meters (tracer burnout)• HEI-T -- 3,000 meters (self destruct)• Basic TOW -- 3,000 meters (impact)• TOW 2 -- 3,750 meters (impact)(5) Figure 7-17, page 7-31, shows the WRP as a line with a series of arrowsextending from a known terrain feature, pointing toward the Bradley symbol. Numberthat terrain feature last. Mark the WRP location's six-digit grid coordinates. When noterrain feature is designated as the WRP, use the range card's REMARKS block to showthe vehicle's location as an eight-digit grid coordinate. (In Figure 7-16, page 7-30, theWRP is number 4.)NOTE:When the vehicle's location prevents you from drawing the WRP precisely onthe sketch, then draw it to the left or right of the vehicle and nearest theactual direction.7-24
