Efficiency below 10%: the Armed Forces have learned to counteract high -precision excalibur

According to Congress, the Russian army is very quickly learning to find a counter -weapon, and sometimes they take 6 weeks. The United States handed over thousands of precision ammunition to Ukraine with a 155mm. However, their effectiveness decreased to 6%. This is stated in the report for the Too Critical To Fail: Getting Software Right in an Age of Rapid Innovation. The Russian-Ukrainian war showed the importance of adaptation to the conditions of hostilities.

The report provides data on the speed of adaptation of Russian troops. For example, the Ukrainian military has to change the frequencies of radios every three months. In some places, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation optimize the remedies so quickly that countermeasures appear in two weeks. Another example of software adaptability is to fall in the efficiency of Excalibur ammunition.

At the beginning of the use of high -precision shells, 70%were efficiency, but within one and a half months the invaders learned to counteract the ammunition. Efficiency fell to 6%, because the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation adapted complexes of radio electronic struggle. This is evidence of the importance of software flexibility. Ukrainian units with domestic UAVs have an efficiency of about 50%.

In cases where weapons are delivered by partners, the logistics chain is complicated, so they try to reach 20%. "Maintaining software in a flexible, changing state is the only way to maintain tactical innovations," the document said. Excalibur is a Swedish-American development of 155 mm of an artillery projectile. The control is carried out using GPS using the steering wheel, folding from the top of the ballistic arc to the target. The ammunition has very high accuracy.
