Reconnaissance for artillery fire in contemporary armed conflicts
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
Artillery is still the basic fire support asset in contemporary operations. It must be used in a highly coordinated way with other fire support assets and fighting forces. It is also essential to acquire important and reliable information collected from various sources. Therefore, in recent armed conflicts there appears a tendency to implement more and more reconnaissance assets and integrate them within a single battlefield reconnaissance system, Artillery reconnaissance system becomes one of such a system components. Hence various assets (sensors), not necessarily organically located in artillery units, are used for artillery fire. The main kind of reconnaissance for close artillery fire in contemporary operations is still visual reconnaissance. Artillery observers have in their disposal specialist reconnaissance vehicles that allow moving freely in the supported forces’ group. Radiolocation reconnaissance was mainly applied to conduct reconnaissance of deep support fire in the Persian Gulf conflicts. It was effective to destroy the enemy active fire assets. Imagery surveillance by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) was a new kind of reconnaissance for artillery fire. In “Iraqi Freedom” operation it allowed detecting and destroying non-active fire assets. Moreover, special reconnaissance, personal one and seldom sound reconnaissance were used for artillery fire. The variety of applied reconnaissance systems, effective system of command, control and communication that allowed prompt sending information became the key to effective artillery use on contemporary battlefield.
