A Way to Control Medium and Low Range Weapons Systems in an Air Defense Artillery Command and Control System

Abstract

When an Air Defense Artillery (ADA) commander receive the order to defend an area o high value point he also receives the list of ADA units that can be employed. He will never receive the appropriate resources he would like to have. The most common problem arised to the ADA commander is to manage different kinds of weapons systems (medium, short and very short ranges) given for air defense purposes. To integrate subordinate Fire Direction Centers (FDC,s) and the various weapons systems in a single ADA Command and Control (C2) Fire Direction Center (FDC) is a real problem. Functions providing control of weapons require some ideas to be presented in this paper. The national weapons systems integration can be easily managed. Non national resources could be integrated if some software and communication problems could be solved.
