A Study for the Possibility of Reducing the Size of Battery Position

포병진지 규모의 축소 가능성에 관한 연구

Increasing the number of artillery units requires more deployment space in the field operation area. However, there is limited space available in FEBA due to mountainous terrains. Therefore most artillery units cannot occupy enough deployment space which is proposed in the field artillery mannual(FM) to maximize the firing-effectiveness and to minimize the enemy threat. This paper studies the problems of reducing the size of a battery deployment space being applied currently without decreasing the firing-effectiveness of the battery. The optimum size of a battery position is obtained by using Lemus and David's allocation model and Supper Quick II Model which produces the probability of kill data with various input data. The result shows that the battery deployment space can be reduced without decreasing the firing-effectiveness in the example problem.
