(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"When you're working in the command post, you've got the little laptop computer. It's got the program on it to give bearings and elevations, you just enter it in and it'll tell you if it's correct or not and it'll show you on the map where the rounds are going to land.
"That's part of the technology used there. Then you've got radios on every gun, which are used in your artillery communications
"When you're working on the gun you've got column metres, which are what you set your sight off of. This is used to double check the bearings you're given."
