• Robust mix of fire support systems is required to address the full spectrum of requirements and
mitigate against surprise
• Volume, precision, responsiveness (24/7, all weather, all terrain), and range remain critical
attributes of a fire support system
• Networked and precision fires offer opportunity to disrupt/destroy enemy capabilities at
extended ranges and with greater precision
Networked through battle command
Fully interoperable with Joint systems

17Analysis of Precision Fires Study
9 Phase I study recommendations to reduce target location error are
critical enablers for precision effects and Joint capabilities
9 Combining greater precision through course correcting fuzes
(CCF), combined with enhanced lethality of individual munitions
provides a significant precision effects capability not present
today
9 When employing 2-D CCF in conjunction with small target location
errors, there is a significant reduction in the number of
conventional rounds required to achieve desired effects and the
corresponding logistics burden
9 CCF combined with ACAAP ammunition improves lethality and
further reduces rounds required for desired target effects

9 Phase I recommendations are still valid. Some are already being
worked in other venues such as Modularity. TRADOC Commander
endorsement will help
9 Phase II recommendations offer significant capability enhancements.
ACAAP ammunition was one of the Phase I recommendations
9 Development of GIF/CCF capability should be supported even if
ACAAP ammunition is not procured. Significantly improves precision
effects capability of current munitions stockpile
9 Both of the Phase II recommendations have ongoing efforts that we
can leverage to accelerate fielding
9 All of the recommendations allow for spiral development

9 What is CCF ? Fuze-sized module that is intended to replace
a “NATO standard” fuze on existing stockpiled Army and
Navy Ammunition.
9 What Does it Do ? Corrects the ballistic trajectory of the
projectile, resulting in a small terminal miss distance.
9 What Difference Will It Make ?
– Greatly reduce the number of rounds required to defeat a
given enemy threat.
– Applicable to existing cannon projectiles and mortar and
systems.
– Enhance “Maneuver Warfare” by reducing the time
required to neutralize threats while minimizing logistic and
re-supply burdens.

37Need for Sensor Fuzed Munitions
• Historical and recent analysis (Center for Army
Analysis DPICM Alternative Study, Jan 2001) has
consistently shown SFMs are an effective killer of
combat vehicles and artillery pieces
– SFMs contribute greatly in both Current and
Stryker scenarios
– SFMs significantly increase lethality and blue
artillery survivability
• SADARM ORD approved 1994 (invalid due to age)
• SADARM performance in OIF highlighted in 3rd ID

9 Units of Action are 16% less effective without the UEX assets
and 10% less without Joint air assets
9 With respect to NLOS-M, NLOS-C, NLOS-LS and Army
Aviation, there is no loss in effectiveness with the removal
of any one system; however, in all cases, an increase in
weight of munitions fired and cost of the munitions becomes
evident
