Defining the 'Precision Weapon' in Effects-Based Terms

摘要

According to Major Sine, as technology evolves, war fighters and planners need to expand the concept of weapons effects beyond merely destructive results and develop an inclusive definition of precision weapons tailored to effects-based operations. He proposes a definition that focuses specifically on the preciseness of the weapon's effect rather than on the meaning of "precision" as it relates to the accuracy of a weapon's guidance system.
