Artillery Locating Radars: Available Options

摘要

Field artillery replicates, albeit in a limited way, the function of an air force combat aircraft when its booming heavy guns deliver lethal shells to the distances ranging between 20 to 40km or even more at the intended enemy targets. The artillery has lived up to its reputation of softening the fiercely defended enemy targets and thus making way for successful infantry assaults in recent battles. The main roles of field artillery are to provide fire support to other arms by backing up attacks, providing defensive fire, neutralising an enemy's gun emplacements, and generally acting as a basis around which all other arms can operate. These roles remain substantially unchanged in today's context.
