ECOM ATACS We introduce ATACS a
battlefield mapping and precision target locating system.
which is an electronic position location system that computes its own
position on the map and electronically locates the target position
coordinates and radios these back to the Gun Position in absolute Lat-Lon
coordinates. The usage is simple the ground or aerial OP simply views the
target in a binocular sight. The ATACS instantly transmits the type and
exact co-ordinates of the target to the gun battery.
The artillery today relies on forward OP who ranges targets and radio in
relative position information to the gun batteries. This improves
artillery fire but the target coordinates still have to be computed by the
gunner. Accurate absolute map coordinates are still not readily available.
The future rapid pace ground battles would require artillery to have by
the minute live precision target information.
