Survey of U.S. Army Technology Base R&D in the Fire Support Mission Area.

Abstract

This report discusses the U.S. Army Technology Base R&D work units which are relevant to the Fire Support Mission Area. A simple effectiveness model is developed and used to identify needed technological improvements in cannon and rocket fire. R&D work units are then examined in light of their potential contribution to combat effectiveness. Areas of insufficient R&D activity are identified and some relevant management issues are discussed.
