𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 from past 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 in today's world💥 the technology multiplies the force not the number of shells. Artillery. Imagine you have located a temporary bridge made by the enemy which you need to destroy, to stop the invasion. You know coordinates, you see visual with your ISR drone. You use your modern artillery system to do the job! 1st shot.. you miss by 200m 10th shot.. You still need corrections 100th shot.. Wind changed.. The enemy knows your exact location. And this opens up a question - what tools do we have to improve strikes 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗧? 🚀 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘀? They get more unprecise the further away the target is. 📡 𝗣𝗚𝗠'𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲. Until GPS is jammed, which usually happens during war 🛩️ 𝗙𝗣𝗩 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 are a potential solution. But they have a success rate of what? Laser-guided munition might be the solution. It can't be jammed, extremely precise over long distances. Moving targets or urban environment is not an issue anymore. For a long time it was used in large, expensive aircraft… But it is possible 𝗡𝗢𝗪 to implement such a technology into 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦 & get closer to the enemy, deploy within seconds, reduce casualties, and waste less munition. What are we waiting for? Decisions have to be made 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 & we need to push the defence industry for more accessible technology, empower more 𝗦𝗠𝗘𝘀, because otherwise we might not have a tomorrow. 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟴, 𝟭𝟲:𝟬𝟬-𝟭𝟲:𝟯𝟬 I will be giving a keynote address about Revolutionary Micro-Laser Target Designator Impact on Unmanned CONOPS and Battlefield Lessons. It's going to happen during Eurosatory.
