Analysis of the main methods of planning and conducting counterfire by military artillery formations adopted in the armies of NATO member states
Abstract
Purpose: justify the possibility of using the basic methods of planning and conducting counterfire by military artillery formations adopted in the armies of NATO countries as a tool for maximizing the effectiveness of counterbattery combat by military formations of missile troops and artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in large-scale combat operations (company).
Method: the main methods of research are the method of system analysis.
Findings: in the article, using the method of system analysis, it is determined that counterfire planning is integrated into the process of military decision-making and provides an effective comparison of the capabilities of military artillery formations, which will be assigned the tasks of conducting proactive and reactive counterfire to achieve the results of counterbattery combat.
Theoretical implications: the main results of the research are the expansion of ideas about the methods of planning and conducting counterfire, which are proposed to be used in the military management to maximize the effectiveness of counterbattery combat, as well as the development of doctrinal support in the theory of military management of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
