Targeting on the ALB-F Battlefield

Abstract

The automation of the command, control, communication and integrating (C3I) process; and changing doctrine and tactics of the future require a new approach to targeting. The ability to plan, coordinate, and assign fire support systems through automation will allow a better selection of high payoff targets in a timely manner. This will increase the processing of information far beyond what is currently possible. Brigades will be able to process more information then is currently being processing of information far beyond what is currently possible. Brigades will be able to process more information then is currently being processed by a division. This capability must be properly organized and focused to achieve maximum efficiency. This study examines the targeting process as it applies to forces fighting under the AirLand Battle Future Doctrine using C3I systems projected for fielding in the 1996-2006 time frame.
