Decision criteria for the use of cannon-fired precision munitionsLa Rock, Harold L. 06 1900 (has links)
The U.S. Army and Marine Corps are developing guided munitions for cannon artillery. These munitions provide a significant increase in range and accuracy, but the tactics, techniques, and procedures used to employ them have yet to be developed. This study is intended to assist with that development by providing a method to determine when to use these munitions rather than conventional munitions in order to achieve a tactical-level commander's desired objectives. A combination of multi-attribute utility theory and simulation are used to determine the best ammunition (precision or conventional) to fire under certain battlefield conditions. The simulation, developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, provides results on the full range of artillery effects by varying the different battlefield conditions that have the greatest effect on the accuracy of artillery. The results of simulated artillery fire missions are studied to determine the combination of battlefield conditions that produce the best results for each type of ammunition. A decision model is used to account for a commander's expected preferences based on tactical considerations. The results vary greatly depending on the battlefield conditions and the commander's preferences. One type of projectile does not clearly dominate the other.

Artillery and warfare 1945-2025Bailey, J. P. A. January 2009 (has links)
For millennia battles were essentially affairs of linear encounter. From the 10th Century to the 20th Century, artillery generally fired directly in the two dimensional plane,limiting potential effects. The development of indirect fire changed this , two-dimensional model. Warfare became not so much a matter of linear encounter as one of engagement as cross and throughout an area; and artillery dominated land operations in both the First and Second World Wars as a result. Firepower was subsequently often applied in even greater weights, but its effects were frequently excessive and high-value targets proved elusive. During the Cold War in Europe,the importance of field artillery wanded relative to other arms. Artillery could only regain its utility by acquiring the highest-value targets and engaging them effectively with the appropriate degree of force in time and space true precision, as opposed to mere accuracy at a point. Improvements in target acquisition and accuracy will enable land systems once more to engage targets effectively throughout the battlespace with implications for warfare analogous to those precipitated by the introduction of indirect fire a century ago. Land operations will become increasingly three-dimensional and Joint. The effects of fire will increasingly be applied in, not merely via, the third dimensions, since targets themselves will increasingly be located, not just on the area of a battlefield, but in the volume of three-dimensional battlespace with values of indetermined by considerations of the fourth dimension, time. Fire, lethal and non-lethal, will also be targeted in other less tangible dimensions such as cyber-space and new types of 'virtual counterfire' will also emerge in the forms of legal and moral restraint. All will be viewed through the lens of perceptions. The burgeoning of firepower from all sources now becomes the spur for changes in the relationship between the land and air components, mindful of those novel factors that will increasingly inhibit the application of that firepower.

Artillery and Warfare 1945-2025Bailey, J P A 24 November 2009 (has links)
For millennia battles were essentially affairs of linear encounter. From the 10th
Century to the 20th Century, artillery generally fired directly in the two dimensional
plane,limiting potential effects. The development of indirect fire changed this ,
two-dimensional model. Warfare became not so much a matter of linear encounter
as one of engagement as cross and throughout an area; and artillery dominated land
operations in both the First and Second World Wars as a result.
Firepower was subsequently often applied in even greater weights, but its effects
were frequently excessive and high-value targets proved elusive. During the Cold
War in Europe,the importance of field artillery wanded relative to other arms.
Artillery could only regain its utility by acquiring the highest-value targets and
engaging them effectively with the appropriate degree of force in time and space true
precision, as opposed to mere accuracy at a point. Improvements in target
acquisition and accuracy will enable land systems once more to engage targets
effectively throughout the battlespace with implications for warfare analogous to
those precipitated by the introduction of indirect fire a century ago.
Land operations will become increasingly three-dimensional and Joint. The effects
of fire will increasingly be applied in, not merely via, the third dimensions, since
targets themselves will increasingly be located, not just on the area of a battlefield,
but in the volume of three-dimensional battlespace with values of indetermined

also be targeted in other less tangible dimensions such as cyber-space and new
