Abstract
In this thesis field artillery operations and fire
support decisions are examined. The history of the development
of artillery fire support systems is reviewed in order
to provide insight into artillery missions. Standard tactical
missions are identified and analyzed as well as fire
planning and fire support coordination. A specific scenario
is analyzed in detail with respect to the fire support decision
process. This work attempts to provide the background
information necessary for the construction of more realistic
artillery models for use in a modern combined arms combat
simulation.
