- See also changes related to Artillery, or pages that link to Artillery or to this page or whose text contains "Artillery".
Parent topics
- Military [r]: The standing armed forces of a country, that are directed by the national government and are tasked with that nation's defense. [e]
- Combined arms [r]: Military actions that involve the coordinated effort of different types of ground troops (e.g., infantry, artillery, engineers) or different military services (e.g., Army and Air Force) [e]
- Explosives [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
Command and control
- Forward observer [r]: An individual or team, specializing in artillery, who accompanies ground troops and directs indirect fire artillery in support of those ground troops [e]
- Controlling close support to ground forces [r]: Doctrine for deconflicting and activelu controlling all forms of kinetic and nonkinetic fires support to troops close enough to the enemy that there is a significant danger of fratricide or degrading friendly capabilities [e]
- Special reconnaissance [r]: Add brief definition or description
- AN/SYQ-27 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Enhanced Position Location Reporting System [r]: A portable or vehicle-mounted U.S. Army device that transmits friendly force positions for command and control, fires with precision-guided munitions, and logistical support [e]
- Joint Tactical Information Distribution System [r]: The primary communications system used for sharing tactical information internally, and among NATO, Australia, and other U.S. allies [e]
Missions and methods
- Direct fire [r]: A military term for battlefield weapons fired with a direct line of sight on their target; projectile weapons actually fire in a parabolic trajectory that approximates a straight line for short distances [e]
- Indirect fire [r]: Weapons fire that is fired in an arc such that the projectile rises above the target elevation and descends to hit the target [e]
- Target acquisition [r]: The detection, identification, and location of a target in sufficient detail to permit the effective employment of weapons. [e]
- Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition Squadron (Brigade Combat Team) [r]: As part of the restructuring of the United States Army into Brigade Combat Teams is a very substantial increase in intelligence, reconnaissance and related surveillance capability; this unit provides enhanced field scouting capability, complementing the Military Intelligence Company's analytic tools and access to higher-echelon systems; both are under the command of the Brigade Intelligence Officer [e]
- Counterbattery [r]: Defense against enemy artillery involving identifying the point of origin of hostile fire and directing lethal force against it [e]
- Counter-rocket, artillery and mortar [r]: Military equipment and techniques to detect unguided rockets, artillery shells, and mortar rounds in flight, warn friendly forces that are threatened, and, with new methods, intercept and destroy the projectiles before they can do damage [e]
- Suppressive fire [r]: Weapons fire directed at troops or another weapons system, not necessarily to destroy it, but to degrade its performance below the level needed to fulfill its mission objectives [e]
- Direct support [r]: "A [military] mission requiring a force to support another specific force and authorizing it to answer directly to the supported force’s request for assistance." (U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff) [e]
- General support [r]: A relationship between military units, in which the supported unit does not have operational control of the supporting unit, but must have its requests either accepted by the supporting unit or approved by a common headquarters [e]
- Anti-aircraft artillery [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Creeping barrage [r]: Artillery fire directed just ahead of advancing friendly forces, with the intent of suppressing the defense as one's own forces took direct action against it. Introduced in the First World War, there was a very high incidence of both friendly fire and too-late fire, until precision time synchronization and fire control were developed. [e]
