Simultaneous Line-of-Sight Terrain Effects on Remoted Weapon Systems

Abstract

The report contains an analysis of the impact of terrain on the dual simultaneous line-of-sight (LOS) requirements of a remote target designation weapon system when both parties are operating at surface or near surface terrain environments. The analysis uses the Phase I TETAM intervisibility data measured for ground antitank missile positions on terrain located within the Hunter-Liggett Military Reservation. Study results include comparisons of autonomous single sites with remoted systems for quantities such as area LOS probabilities, duration of moving target intervisibility, and distributions of multiple target intervisibility. An estimate of the degradation of the remoted systems relative to the autonomous mode systems is also displayed.
