Abstract:

This report focuses on the results of research efforts on methodologies and the Advanced Field Artillery System AFAS. Our goal was to conceptualize and design alternative AFAS capabilities in the Janus combat simulation to evaluate their effectiveness on tomorrows battlefield under several different scenarios and missions. Additionally, the team used the results to verify a methodology for predicting combat simulation results for alternative sensitivity analyses. The results of this first phase indicate a need for a faster delivery system to mass fires at the right time in the right place on the future battlefield.
