Today’s artillery: fire support and protection down to the lowest levelSince 2008, operations have been characterized by an increasingly severe context and higher demand for artillery, down to the lowest levels. As the only branch capable of providing fire support at all conditions, its use has become indispensable. No air-land operation is planned without permanent mortar or gun fire support. The principle of “not move without combat support” is once again a reality. Today, technical and tactical artillery capabilities have evolved considerably: high strategic mobility, precision guided ammunition, a reduced logistics footprint, ground-air protection and dynamic management of air-land space.

Artillery performs two key functions:

Indirect Fire Support to guarantee commander freedom of action

Operating at a distance, it uses intelligence to identify, strike high-value targets and weakens the opponent before contact, and subsequently contributes to enemy destruction in support of troops in combat. Permanent, due to its continuous capabilities, and responsive, it provides a full range of effects and guarantees for decision makers precise and controlled strikes.

Air defense to protect the air-land forces, sensitive sites and populations

Able to maneuver in insecure environments on the ground and following the pace of land units, integrated into the joint chain of command and operating in coordination with French Air Force resources, artillery participates in foreign and national theaters protection in the frame of reinforcement of the permanent safety posture

Artillery is currently organized in regiments within combined arms brigades. Its strength lies in its ability to be integrated down to the lowest tactical levels (combined tactical battle group or company). Therefore, each combined arms brigade has a mixed artillery regiment that trains and prepares for deployment with direct engagement battle group (infantry and armor).

Artillery Organization:

Each artillery regiment, inside light and medium brigades is organized in:

• two field artillery batteries able to fire the 155 mm CAESAR guns and 120 mm mortars;

• a short-range air defense (SHORAD) battery firing MISTRAL missiles;

• an intelligence battery dedicated to brigade.

Three specific regiments (RA) are part of the heavy armored and mechanized brigades:

• the 40th RA equipped with self-propelled armored tracked vehicle named AUF1;

• the 1st RA equipped with two unitary rocket launcher (URL) batteries and two radar batteries (COBRA);

• the 54th RA is the air defense regiment, organized in four short range air defense batteries (SHORAD) and two tactical coordination batteries (TCB) for 3rd Dimension space management and implementation of high-speed data links.

Afghanistan and Ivory coast

Permanent fire support

Since 2008, operations have been characterized by a renewed use of artillery, which has been deployed in combined tactical battle groups with reduced structures to provide fire support for the entire combat area. In Afghanistan, 4 500 shells (155 mm and 120 mm) were fired to support combined tactical battle groups, and also for targeting purposes to support Special Forces.

The CAESAR gun range has significantly expanded the area of action for tactical battle groups. The complementary nature of guns and mortars has been consolidated: the CAESAR guns provide support from forward advanced bases, while mortars maneuver in the contact area. Therefore, regardless of changes in the maneuver, units can be supported laterally, accurately and closer to allied units.

The air-defense and field artillery double qualification of the artillery observation teams allowed all possible fire support to be effectively combined with a minimal impact on the human resources.

Afghanistan has also been the scene of regular use of tactical UAVs in connection with artillery. Tactical UAV (SDTI) and mini UAV (DRAC), capable of intelligence and time sensitive targeting, were able to perform a full firing loop: acquisition, control, adjustment and damage assessment.

Mali

Strategic projection of fire support

The SERVAL operation was characterized by the elongations of the air-land offensive action. In this action, the artillery was present for both observation teams but also for gun and mortar fire. The strategic mobility of the self-propelled CAESAR gun was a major asset. A unit of two CAESAR guns was able to conduct a raid over 1,000 km, keeping pace with close combat armored vehicles (VBCI, AMX -10 -RC) on harsh desert terrain, from NIAMEY to TESSALIT. Following the raid, smoothly conducted, the detachment has performed more than 40 neutralization, illumination and blinding shots. The logistic footprint was reduced to 2 TRM 10 000 trucks.

Dynamic management of 3D space

The 3rd dimension (3D) resources management capability was decisive: a third-dimension defense management center (CMD3D) of the 54th RA was deployed to allow all air-land resources to be monitored and coordinated.

Use of fire: Artillery 3rd dimension expertise plays a key role in enabling the tactical combined arms commander to coordinate the actions of all available resources (artillery shells, helicopters, Close Air support, UAVs.)

Guyana, Djibouti, Lebanon

Surface-air protection through field compartment control

Air Defense of land forces is carried out by short-range air defense sections (SHORAD). Each platoon has six MISTRAL missiles and detection and firing control radar (NC1-30 and NC1-40). The advantage of these sections is their ability to deploy in the field and their complementary capability between radar detection and visual surveillance performed by these units in this field. The MISTRAL missile has further enhanced its capabilities with the delivery of the MISTRAL 3 in 2014, which features an increased range (8 km) and which is capable of destroying targets with a smaller signature.

Target acquisition

In the frame of SCORPION program, which will renew and consolidate the operational capacities of combined tactical battle groups, the Army will be equipped with new acquisition resources. The multi-role armored vehicle (VBMR) will replace current reconnaissance VABs by 2020. Its equipment allows it to detect and locate targets with ten-meter accuracy in all conditions. It features a 5-meter telescopic mast with day and night vision, and a removable radar, and will significantly improve team observation capabilities.

Studies are underway to improve target localization computing via imaging. They aim to achieve metric accuracy by 2020.

Ammunition

The artillery possesses a full range of ammunition: neutralization, illumination, blinding and warning. It also has guided BONUS anti-tank rounds for effective use in symmetrical or asymmetrical conflicts.

The 1st RA has received GPS-guided rockets for URL since April 2014. Deployed since 2016 in North Mali, URL System have destroyed terrorist logistic and command up to 70 km. Current studies focus on guided 120 mm and 155 mm shells, which will be available after 2022.

Effectors: Field Artillery launchers

France currently has four types of launchers:

• Due to the strategic mobility, the self-propelled 155 mm CAESAR gun showed its effectiveness in Afghanistan and especially in Mali (38 km range).

• The AUF1 155 mm armored tracked self-propelled howitzer (28 km range).

• The rusticity and strategic mobility of the RTF1 120 mm towed mortar make it an easy and effective way to support infantry units in combat. In 2022, an on-board automated mortar embedded in a multirole armored vehicle (MEPAC) will support forces in addition to the RTF1 towed mortar.

• The unitary rocket launcher (URL).

The arrival of the URL in ground forces:

• 13 URLs will be delivered to the 1st RA before the end of 2014. The URL is the only highly accurate, all-weather and permanent fire support for 2014-2022, with the pending delivery of 155 and 120 mm precision shells.

• It is fully integrated into tactical and logistical maneuvers. It is easy to use by joint force commanders or tactical battle groups commanders.

• It has a range of technical effects that are readily used by the Joint Commander of Operations: time fuse/percussion/delayed-penetration firing.

A weapons system whose strengths specifically address the operational needs of forces in stabilization missions:

• Due to the range of the weapons system - up to 80 km - it can shoot without even leaving its forward advanced base.

• Rockets are detected at the last moment, which does not allow the opponent to take cover.

• The terminal angle is vertical, which makes this munition very effective in destroying targets in urban areas, in mountainous areas or in areas protected by rocky knolls.

• The cost/effectiveness ratio is particularly advantageous.

• The logistics impact is significantly reduced due to the rocket’s level of accuracy: each target is treated with a single munition.

Above all, the URL can be used at all conditions, and can provide permanent and immediate support. It was used specifically by British forces in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has gradually become the preferred fire support system.

Air Defense Surveillance and acquisition:

The French Army uses the MARTHA system for the air defense chain of command control systems.

It currently has NC1-30 and NC1-40 detection and fire control radars with a range of 20 km to 28 km.

The early warning and 3D surveillance are provided by the 3D GIRAFFE radar and soon by GM200 radars with a range of 200 km, which will be delivered starting in 2018.

Air Defense launchers:

In addition to the French Air Force’s MAMBA medium range air defense system, French Army has the MISTRAL 2 and MISTRAL 3 short range missiles (extended range of 8 km) with small target capabilities. These missiles can be fired from a dismounted tripod (MANPADS) or from a vehicle-based platform (PAMELA).

The Army uses also 20 mm guns, mounted on multirole armored platform (VAB) to complete the air defense system.

Sensors: target acquisition capability

In order to detect and identify threats, designate targets and observe the firing results to assess damage and rectify elements transmitted to launchers of the battery, the artillery uses Observation Teams (EOC), deployed inside the combined arms units (Infantry, Armor), with their own equipment capable of performing the tasks described above. Optical and optronic equipment is currently installed on board vehicles with observation devices, able to detect and locate targets both day and night. Observation Teams, mounted or potentially dismounted, use high-accuracy rangefinders and can be equipped with laser designators.

Effectors: Indirect fire platforms

Indirect fire support is provided by guns, mortars and rockets. French Artillery is equipped with three types of launchers:

• 155 mm 52 caliber self-propelled CAESAR guns capable of high strategic mobility and 38 km range;

• 81 and 120 mm towed mortars, which deliver an effective fire support for units in contact up to 15 km;

• Unitary Rocket Launchers mounted on tracked platform, with a range of 80 km and metric precision.

• Mistral 2 and 3 short range Missile System for Air Defense.

These launchers may be used as adaptable modules (unitary, dual, a battery of 6 to 8 launchers or a regiment 2 to 4 batteries). More often, before deployment, a reconnaissance team identify firing positions or launchers can fire immediately when rapid deployment in action is decided. Some launchers are equipped with autonomous maneuver and firing capabilities, via inertial navigation systems and integrated firing calculator.

Fire Command & Control Systems

The ability of the artillery to engage targets in neutralization or precision firing and to fire on-target immediately is allowed by transmission in near real time of data provided by observation teams to firing launchers and calculation of position and trajectory data provided by the artillery fire command and control system. Calculators are used at the battery command post and are also available inside the firing platforms, to provide unequaled scalability and versatility. The fire control system is also used to calculate ammunition replenishment. It must also interface with the 3-D Air Traffic and Air Defense management systems to optimize trajectories in airspace.

Weapon effects & ammunition

The artillery is equipped with a full range of 81, 120 and 155 mm caliber ammunition, for neutralization, illumination, blinding and warning. It is also provided by guided, selective anti-tank rounds for use in all types of conflicts. URL rockets guided by GPS allow protected targets to be destroyed at up to a distance of 80 km and with nearly metric precision. Current studies focus on guided 120 mm and 155 mm shells, which will be available after 2020.

Replenishment & Logistics

After firing, munitions must be replenished by transportation and logistic units to the areas managed by artillery units. In addition to transportation and storage, munitions management, pallet handling, repackaging and neutralization-destruction functions must also be performed.

CILAS develops, manufactures and markets products and systems using these technologies for defense or security. The company is also involved in large-scale scientific laser programs and in industrial and scientific instrumentation.

Innovations in laser target designation

The DHY - 307 LW is the evolution of the combat proven DHY - 307. As the DHY - 307, the DHY - 307 LW (light weight) can operate with NATO and other laser guided weapons. However, the Light Weight is two times lighter than the DHY - 307 and is more compact. One of the main evolutions of this version is its athermal diode pumped laser that doesn’t need an active cooling system. The electrical consumption is also drastically reduced. The DHY - 307 LW is equipped with an internal see spot camera and compatible with various thermal imagers. This equipment has been adopted by the French forces after one year trials and the results was fully conclusive.

All the work made to increase the compactness allows CILAS to integrate laser designators into helicopters and vehicles and soon in drones.

CILAS has already developed two laser modules which can be embedded in gymbals or land sight the AlaDeM - R and the MiniDeM - R . They are two athermal modules used for designation and range finding. Both are compliant with NATO and other laser guided munitions. These modules have a very low residual consumption in stand-by mode. The AlaDeM - R is for a long range designation using (up to 10 Km) and the MiniDeM - R is for medium range designation using (up to 5 Km).

For over 50 years, CILAS has been at the leading edge of the modern technology sectorthanks to its unique expertise in laser and optronics technologies.

Wherever the success of missions is of the essence, users can rely on the security and reliability of Davey Bickford’s products.

Unrivaled know-how in primary explosives and industrial control of energetic materials and components proven for decades allow the company to support clients with the key benefits of pyrotechnic initiators and initiation systems.

As first active element of the pyrotechnic chain, initiator is a critical component, crucial for both the security and the reliability of systems and ammunitions:

• during passive and active storage (including monitoring) phases of systems and ammunitions, initiators must be able to withstand severe ambiance conditions without any risk for safety and security.

As needed, Davey Bickford 1A1W immuned electric igniters are designed to remain safe when subjected to the most severe electromagnetic interferences.

• as for the active phase of missions, once the firing command is applied, initiators shall then react in a very short time (typically a fraction of millisecond !) to start the pyrotechnic chain.

The pyrotechnic effect of Davey Bickford initiators can be adjusted on demand so that, depending on the initiation function expected, it can be generated temperatures, gases or shock wave effects.

Last but not least, the panel of initiation solutions offered also includes the range of pyromechanic devices which, in some cases , although offering the same unequalled fast reaction time and amplification signature effects of initiators, can be registered as ‘’non explosive devices’’

A few example of pyrotechnic initation solutions used for terrestrian defence applications:

• Artillery fuses: our micro-detonators are generally used to activate the safe and arm unit located in the head of fuses.

• As for military launchers application, we are able to provide any type of igniters as needed for the activation of the different modules integrated in a missile system rocket igniters, thermal battery initiators, gyroscope actuators, thrusters, retractors etc...

• Decoys and flares: our igniters can be used both for decoys and flares dispensing as also activation of special materials

• Davey Bickford conventional detonators and detonating cords are used for destruction and demolition operations conducted by terrestrian forces

Not only safe and reliable products Davey Bickford can also support customers with dedicated services including but not limited to: special packagings, transport classification, obsolescence management, REACH compliance, training, testing, storage, destruction.

Junghans provide a wide range of fuzes for indirect fire munitions - artillery and mortar - whatever the technology (mechanical or electronic fuzes) and the operational requirements (proximity, time, impact or multi-function fuzes).

The modern fuzes, proposed by JUNGHANS, provide significant benefits in terms of:

• Safety features: in particular with new generation dual-safe fuzes for mortar, compliant with STANAG 4187 with and IM (Insentive Munitions) features,

• Operational flexibility: multifunction fuzes with several operational modes and various functioning parameters, hand settable or inductively settable, able to achieve different types of missions (e.g FRAPPE and L166 Multifunction fuzes),

• Terminal effect: optimization of the effectiveness on target is achieved with a state-of-the-art radar sensor, that provides better height of burst measurement, as well as jamming resistance. The terminal effect improvement is also achieved for impact and post-impact functions with the capability to survive high impact shock and to detonate at the preset time after target impact.

Nowadays, fuzes can also improve artillery firing accuracy. The SPACIDO fuze system, developed in partnership with NEXTER Munitions, can correct in-flight trajectory distance thus reducing the dispersion, with significant benefits in terms of mission costs as well as collateral damages.

Beyond this new generation of fuzes, JUNGHANS also proposes new fuzing systems for integration in guided munitions, either S&A functions based on electromechanical or electronic solution (including EFI and LEEFI technology), as well as proximity sensor modules, adaptable to specific munition or missile configurations.

Known-Position in all conditions

As a world-renowned specialist in inertial navigation, Safran designs and manufactures navigation solutions based on the latest vibrating gyro technologies such as Hemispheric Resonating Gyros (HRG), Quapason, and GVP. They have been selected on all the Griffon armored vehicles of the French Scorpion program with Epsilon10, for example, as the reference GPS back-up solution. Safran has also developed an inertial measurement unit based on the GVP for the Mistral surface-to-air missiles and MMP medium-range anti-tank missiles.

Target Designation from the Ground

Combining optronics and navigation skills, Safran provides a wide range of target designation systems for specialized observation vehicles, such as the Paseo system which embeds an HRG navigation unit for the Artillery Observation variant of the French Griffon vehicles. Its expertise in vibrating gyros allows it also to offer lightweight systems featuring exceptional performance, via the combination of the JIM LR binoculars and the Sterna target acquisition system. For the missions of forward observers and Tacpi, JIM LR can be connected to laser illuminators.

PatrollerTM: intelligence and target acquisition from Tactical UAVs

Developed by Safran, the Patroller is a multi-sensor multi-mission long-endurance tactical UAV system. It features a modular design, enabling it to carry a payload up to 250 kg, in the fuselage or in pods (optronics, radar and electronic warfare), with endurance exceeding 20 hours and a ceiling of 20,000 ft. The Patroller’s design calls on nine years of operational experience with Safran’s Sperwer UAV system in overseas operations. Patroller operates simultaneously different sensors: optronic (EO/IR) pod, SAR/MTI radar, electronic warfare (EW) system, distress beacon detector and automatic identification system (AIS receiver). Patroller system can broadcast georeferenced imagery to tactical portable terminals used by dismounted soldiers. Following an international call for tender, Patroller has been selected in 2016 by the French Army.

High-Rate, High-Precision Firing

As the world reference navigation and pointing unit for Artillery, Safran’s Sigma 30 system equips many systems all over the world such as PzH 2000, Caesar and Archer guns. In addition to indirect firing accuracy, Sigma 30 enables quick battery deployment against improvised targets and independent firing by artillery pieces. Safran also provides the HRG-based Sigma 20 pointing systems for mobile ground firing stations.

In service in France, Spider indirect fire support system is an efficient sensor-to-shooter chain with a quick reaction time. It enhances firing accuracy by computing firing solution and data. It can also be fitted with a CM3 day/night sight for direct line-of-sight firing.

Renown for a lot of qualities, the BRANDT mortars have been improved in the 1960s by adoption of a new kind of tube, that was rifled like the howitzers’ ones, in order to gain in reach, precision and accuracy.

Since this time, the 120mm Rifled/Towed (RT) mortar is the only one of its type already in service throughout the world.

Its robustness, its reliability and its light logistical footprint make the 120RT the first Artillery fire support equipment to be deployed into a military operation overseas. Its maximum range (from 8 to 13 kilometres…) gives the tactical echelon the opportunity to manoeuvre under the cover of a though indirect fire support, that can be easily integrated into a complete Artillery chain of command, and enabling every Troop in contact (TIC) to properly treat adversary combatants with a broad pallet of ammunition…

The 120RT can be transported by airlift (under sling or in the cabin of the aircraft) or, dismantled into three plots, in a medium transport helicopter, to conduct an Artillery raid.

Since 2004, TDA ARMEMENTS SAS proposes a mounted version of its 120RT:

In the Rifled, Recoiled, Mounted Mortar (2R2M), the 120 mm rifled tube is associated with an hydraulic recoiling asset, together with a semi-automatic loading mechanism and a full automatic aiming and elevation system which makes it a complete weapon system, integrally operated with a crew of only of four person. It is then able to shoot 10 rounds within one minute, with improved accuracy compared to the towed version, and can start moving and close the top door at the same time.

TDA ARMEMENTS SAS proposes a complete set of classical mortar ammunition, covering the average palette of Fire Support Missions (FSM) benefiting to the Troops in Contact (TIC):

• The High Explosive (HE) projectiles are shot up to a range of 8.300 meters.

• The Anti-Amour Projectiles (AAP) damage armoured vehicles.

• The Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP) are able to reach its target up to 13 kilometres.

• The Smoke (SMK) projectiles are used either to mark the terrain for Close Air Support (CAS), Close Combat Attack (CCA), or to generate a smoke curtain. They also may be employed as warning shot across the bows.

• The PRACtice (PRAC) projectiles are used to train the servants and the Forward observers on the training field.

• The ILLUMinating (ILLUM) projectiles produce either visible light or invisible beams illuminating the battleground for InfraRed (IR) devices.

TDA ARMEMENTS SAS also develops a brand new catalogue of Insensitive Munitions (IM) as well as a 120mm Mortar Guided Munition (MGM), laser-guided onto the target by a forward observer.

Since World War I, Edgar William BRANDT and its followers are recognized as world class manufacturers in mortar warfare. Together with JUNGHANS-DEFENCE/T2M, TDA ARMEMENTS SAS conducts development programmes enhancing the whole range of munitions.
