Fires in Multi-Domain Battle
Fires Tenets
Precise…………Operating with accuracy, achieving desired effects only on desired targets
Responsive…….Reacting quickly and appropriately
Effective………..Appropriate capacity, range and lethality
Multifunctional…Organizations, systems, leaders, and Soldiers able to conduct both fires supports and air defense tasks
Fires in Multi-domain Battle:
Leverage Joint, Inter-organizational, and Multinational (JIM) Capabilities
• Fires forces work closely with JIM partners
• Fires systems interoperable by design to facilitate seamless JIM integration
Multifunctional Fires Convergence
• Evolutionary combination of organizations, systems, skills, training, and
education common to both field artillery and air defense
Enhanced Sensor-to-Shooter Linkages
• To successfully deliver fires against concealed, hardened, low observable,
or mobile targets, organic sensor capabilities must be expanded and
integrated with JIM sensors
Cross-domain Fires
• Employment of lethal fires and nonlethal effects across all domains,
creating multiple dilemmas for enemies to ensure friendly freedom of
action and enable Joint Force overmatch
