Key New Features:
Integration of Weapon Employment Zone (WEZ) Analysis
The latest update integrates the powerful Weapon Employment Zone (WEZ) Analysis into AB Quantum™, offering shooters a sophisticated tool for quantifying hit probability under real-world conditions. WEZ analysis employs a model-based, statistical approach to determine hit percentages for specific weapon systems against designated targets at varying ranges, considering real-world uncertainties.
Key capabilities of WEZ Analysis include:
- Quantified Hit Probability: Provides precise calculation of a weapon system’s effectiveness by accounting for rifle precision and environmental factors.
- Confidence-Based Analysis: Users can run scenarios using predefined confidence levels or custom variable sets tailored to specific field conditions. Users can see how uncertainty/error in parameters like wind speed will affect the probability of hit.
- Preprogrammed Targets: Users can choose from several targets to view their expected probability of hit against shapes typically found in competition and against the vital zones of commonly hunted animals.
- Realistic Field Modeling: Helps users understand how uncertainties impact performance, enabling more informed tactical and competitive decisions. Shooters can use this to determine whether a shot is ethical when hunting or for planning target positioning in competitions.

Advanced Graphing Comparison
The Advanced Graphing Comparison tool allows users to visualize and analyze multiple ballistic trajectories simultaneously, providing unparalleled insights for precision shooting.
Core features include:
- Side-by-Side Comparisons: Enables instant visual comparisons of trajectories across different loads, rifles, or environmental conditions.
- Data-Driven Insights: Supports precision decision-making by presenting clear, actionable data for ammunition and rifle setups.
- Dynamic Adjustments: Displays real-time changes in ballistic trajectories as users modify parameters such as bullet weight, muzzle velocity, or environmental conditions.
- Performance Optimization: Facilitates the identification of optimal loads for specific shooting scenarios.
Custom Drag Factor (CDF) Scaling and Calibration
Applied Ballistics has introduced the Custom Drag Factor (CDF) Calibration feature to address the increasing demand for further refining precision drag data. With recent chronograph product releases providing low-cost, accurate muzzle velocity measurements, uncertainty in bullet drag now plays a more critical role than ever in long-range shooting accuracy. The CDF function enables shooters to fine-tune the Custom Drag Models (CDMs) and Ballistic Coefficients (BCs) provided by Applied Ballistics, ensuring superior alignment with their specific systems.
Highlights of CDF Calibration include:
- Enhanced Drag Accuracy: Allows for fine adjustments to Applied Ballistics’ Doppler radar-based CDMs to account for bullet lots or barrel characteristics variations.
- Real-Time Calibration: Empowers shooters to scale the provided CDM data to match actual field performance, ensuring consistent and reliable ballistic predictions.
- Comprehensive Drag Modeling: Combines advanced CDMs with real-world chronograph data, offering unprecedented control over drag modeling across the entire velocity spectrum.
By integrating modern chronograph technology with AB Quantum™, CDMs, and the new CDF Calibration feature, Applied Ballistics provides shooters unmatched accuracy and control over ballistic drag data.
