Current state of automated control systems for field artillery combat employment in condition diagnostics
Keywords:
Automated command and control systems, field artillery, fire control, tactical-level operations, information and communication infrastructure, multiple round simultaneous impactSynopsis
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of automated artillery command and control systems (ACS) for field artillery at the tactical level, emphasizing their role in condition diagnostics and adaptive fire management. The theoretical foundations of information and control systems are analyzed, including mathematical modeling, algorithmization of military tasks, and integration of hardware-software components. International experience in the design and implementation of field artillery ACS, including systems such as TACFIRE (Tactical Fire Direction System) (USA), ADLER (Artillery Data, Location and Evaluation/Reconnaissance system) (Germany), and BATES (Battlefield Artillery Target Engagement System) (UK), is examined. Special attention is given to the structure, functionality, and performance metrics of ACS, highlighting the importance of real-time verification of the artillery firing cycle, Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI), and “shoot and scoot” tactics. The chapter also discusses the principles of modern information and communication infrastructure, operational efficiency, and resilience of ACS under complex combat conditions, providing a methodological basis for future development of high-performance automated artillery systems.
