Combating the counter-battery force is critical to the success and viability of military forces during wars. As important as the ability to move quickly and accurately is the ability of the counter-battery force to position itself before they are attacked. This sounds like an easy task. It is essential to recognize enemy artillery. Counter-battery is a reactive process and depends on many sources of information.
Counter-battery fire is usually directed at enemy guns, mortars, or launchers. Counter-battery fire can also be directed at any part of the field armour system. It is possible to assess the effectiveness of counter-battery firing by using a variety of information sources. It also depends on what military force policy is being used. For example, some armies have the authority to order their counter-battery units to fire, while others do not. This could reduce the effectiveness of counter-battery fire.
"Cobra", one of the most sophisticated counter-battery radars in the world, is the system. It's designed to detect mortar and artillery batteries of enemy forces and calculate the point at which artillery can be destroyed. It is used worldwide by seven NATO members. It can detect batteries at a distance of between 20 and 25 kilometers. It can also detect missile systems.
The Cobra can be deployed in as little as 5 to 15 minutes. The Cobra is capable of detecting up to 40 enemy battery. It can also determine the number of barrels and width of found batteries. It can also measure impact of friendly gunfire. To improve performance, the radar's signal processor is being updated.
The Ukroboronprom counter-battery radar is also effective in detecting enemy artillery and missile systems. It can detect weapons with a range of about 40 kilometers. It can also use sound ranging techniques to locate hostile artillery system. It can detect an enemy MLRS launcher, and can locate mortars in a 180 degree sector.
NVKIskra manufactures the 1L220UK anti-battery radar, also known as Zoopark 3 This system can be used to detect mortars and artillery. It can also reconstruct flight paths for artillery projectsiles.
It is used by the Ukrainian Army. Its primary function it to detect and detect enemy artillery, mortars, missiles. The system can be used in all weather conditions. The system is extremely useful for peace support operations. The system can locate a wide range of weapons positions, even those that are scattered across the battlefield. It can also work in all time zones.
Another system, called the "Polozhennya-2", can detect and pinpoint hostile mortars and artillery. It uses acoustic waves to find the point-of-origin. It can also operate in a friendly fire mode. It can also calculate the area of the target and its position.
NATO forces can also use the ARTHUR anti-battery radar. It can locate enemy mortars at a distance between 20 and 25, kilometers. It has a maximum circular error probable error of 0.3% of its range.
