The Influence of Obstacles on Anti-Armor Weapon System Effectiveness

Abstract

This study has been designed to take a first step toward identifying the contribution of one non-weapon system, specifically how much installed and properly executed obstacles, located in depth throughout a task force size sector, can enhance the effectiveness of the task force anti-armor weapon systems. Some additional conclusions about the most effort-effective obstacles and the need for increased numbers of combat engineers on the battlefield may also result. (Author)
