The US is preparing a revolution in the war with Russia. Ukraine will finally receive an advantage in artillery

"The United States is passing the IFADTS artillery management system. This is a revolution of a counter -battery struggle in the war with the Russian Federation. Ukraine will give 18 kits of IFADTS (International Field Artiller Tactical Data System). Opinion. There are no similar systems in the arms of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Due to the significant technological and organizational lag from NATO, the Russians will not be able to copy it.

And we will be able to create an advantage in management, for this we need to understand the priorities and opportunities that are opened for the Armed Forces. In fact, we are fully instructing the American doctrine of network -centric war, it is worth realizing by analyzing American sources.

What is the IFADTS/AFATDS system physically? It is an automated artillery unit management system that creates situational awareness of their own and hostile forces and determines the procedure of units and targets. That is, it is a special military network of computers, which are connected through the terminal through the channels of radish, protected from obstacles of the EW.

Compact and mobile artillery control command, which can be continuously managed from one or more laptops in any real-time conditions. What is the IFADTS/AFATDS system values ​​to control? 1. The system automates and accelerates the two key components of combat management from the Boyd cycle - the orientation in the situation and the decision by the commander to make a decision.

The war is not of paramount importance not the total number of troops, guns, shells, missiles, intelligence, but the ability of commanders to have a single protocol of interaction with all units in the area of ​​responsibility as quickly as possible to strike the defined goals at a particular point at a particular time, providing the optimal maneuver of their troops, rational use of resources and adjusting their actions at the expense of new reconnaissance data and feedback. 2.

The system allows you to implement the modern American doctrine of network -centered war: - combines in a single system of all operators on the battlefield and in the rear, which receive a joint vision of the situation and understanding of the actions of other operators; - forms a single communication protocol that allows you to instantly add new data, adjust the situation by all system operators, create feedback; - eliminates the vertical hierarchy and the need to reconcile decisions on the top and bottom, that is, allows the decision to be made instantly; - allows you to automate the entire battle cycle from determining the goal to its damage.

How will ifadts/Afatds change tactics in the war with the Russian Federation? 1. The maximum speed of artillery is necessary for counter -battery struggle and destruction of fire positions of Russian artillery and mortars, which change positions after firing.

HIMARS, MLRS and self-propelled guns as PZ2000, CEASAR, equipped with automated fire control systems that are integrated with ifadts/Afatds, that is, immediately after receiving a target on the screen on the screen, the commander of the artillery and missing unit. Open the fire instantly.

Or the unit is masked in the area of ​​concentration, and the system calculates the optimal route of a way for firing, and after the volley calculates the route for maneuver and departure to avoid fire in response and attacks of Russian drones. 2. I wrote a lot that modern war is not a front of people, it is a front of sensors. Because sensors provide observation, data transmission and aiming more precisely and faster than the human eye.

People's combat capability is determined by their ability to effectively apply sensors in their hands. And it is necessary the automated system that collects data from operators, because there are many sensors.

IFADTS gives the commander the opportunity to realize and manage the front of sensors - to instantly receive data from radars of artillery intelligence, which fix the flight of Russian shells, from the drones that are watching the goals, from satellites that take pictures, from radio electronic intelligence, which records the radio. neighboring units on the battlefield, from their rear units that are engaged in repair and carriage.

Now all these data will not be displayed, and now they will instantly be displayed on the screen both in the artillery commander in a given area, and the scouts, and the commander of the rocket-artillery platoon or the Himars or MLRS battery, which directly strikes. 3. The maximum efficiency of IFADTS application will be when the Armed Forces Administration Organization is truly built on NATO standards. IFADTS is the standard that we need to reform the army.

And then, obviously, our allies will be able to supply their automated Army Battle Command System system for our entire army, which is an IFADTS/Afatds. This can be the beginning of major reform. When will IFADTS appear on the front and be noticeable? 1. The procurement indicates that a training program is purchased together with the system, designed for seven weeks. So it can come to the front in the next 3 months, and perhaps earlier, if the training of operators has already begun. 2.

In 2022, according to the reports of Lockheed Martin, they produced about 10,000 high-precision M30-M31 missiles. According to the US FY-23 military budget approved, Lockheed Martin received a 5-year contract for production of 106,000 widow missiles. That is, production increases significantly. Therefore, improving the quality of management will be increased by increasing the number of missiles to destroy Russian batteries, warehouses and command points in much more than this year.
