측지정확도가 포병사격에 미치는 영향분석

Abstract

Being different from direct firing weapons with the targeting system that relies on the eyesight of the shooter, indirect firing ones such as artillery could take effect only when they know the exact details of position and azimuth of the weapons themselves and their targets. Thus, determining position and azimuth is an essential element to increase the accuracy of artillery fire forces. Despite the importance of PADS (Position and Azimuth Determining System), there has been little research work in analyzing the influence of geodetic accuracy on artillery fire. To understand the effects of geodetic accuracy on artillery fire, this paper introduces the basic concept of PADS and surveys the present status of geodetic equipments of Korean army, and suggests the methodology for measuring the effectiveness of artillery fire. The methodology is then used for the quantitative analysis of the influence of geodetic accuracy on artillery fire based on simulations. The margin of error in geodetic equipments will be discussed in terms of ROC (Required Operational Capability) at the end of this paper.
