un faisceau dont les plans (de tir)


Explanation:
Sheaf: "(...) of planes. All the planes that pass through a given point. The point is the center of the sheaf."

"Faisceau de tir, ensemble des plans de tir des pièces d'une batterie d'artillerie. ..."
"ARTILL. Ensemble des plans de tir des canons d'une batterie d'artillerie (d'apr. Lar. encyclop.). Quand on tire un certain nombre de projectiles sous un même angle et dans les mêmes conditions, les trajectoires ne se confondent pas, elles forment un faisceau (Ledieu, Cadiat, Nouv. matér. nav., 1890, p. 16)."
