Profiler

Abstract

The Profiler Virtual Module (PVM) provides meteorological (MET) data that includes wind speed, wind direction, temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity information required for use in the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). The correctional information is necessary for precise targeting and terminal guidance to Field Artillery assets. PVM improves accuracy of predictive fires solutions and allows for first round effects on target and reduces the risk of fratricide. This capability increases the lethality of indirect fire systems such as the rocket launchers, self-propelled or towed howitzers, and mortars. FY 2019 Base funding is $0.
