Restricted Visibility Land Combat Analysis - Summary and Overview

Abstract

This report presents a summary and an overview of a study addressed to the problems of restricted visibility land combat. Recommendations are derived for potential ARPA research and development programs that would impact on the capability of the U.S. Armed Forces to conduct and support midintensity (no nuclear weapons) land combat in the European theater of operations where tactical or environmental obscuration to vision is a factor. The overview attempts to present an objective discussion of some of the salient land combat problems under restricted visibility conditions that emerged in the course of the work. (Author)
