This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat identification is the way military personnel distinguish friend from foe and non-combatants during operations, thereby minimising the risk of deaths and injuries from friendly fire as well as damage to property and infrastructure, whilst maintaining operational effectiveness. It is a complex issue as it spans all the military environments (land, maritime and air), particularly when operations are conducted in coalition with allies, as this requires interoperability of equipment and harmonisation of tactics and practices. Following on from an NAO report (HCP 936, session 2005-06, ISBN 9780102937169) published in March 2006, the Committee's report examines three main issues: progress on equipment projects to improve combat identification; Operation TELIC and investigations into friendly fire deaths; and data collection of friendly fire incidents. Amongst its conclusions, the report finds that the MoD has failed to develop viable combat identification solutions to counter the risks of friendly fire incidents, despite their devastating effects and despite the recommendations made by the Committee in 1992 and 2002, with significant delays in equipment programmes such as the Battlefield Target Identification System. Given the considerable delays in the time the MoD took to conclude the investigations into friendly fire incidents and to make the findings publicly available, the report recommends that once investigations into friendly fire incidents are complete, the MoD should publish the findings of Boards of Inquiry within one month.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat Identification is the way military personnel distinguish friend from foe and non-combatants during operations. Effective Combat Identification is a mans of minimising the risk of deaths and injuries from friendly fire while maintaining or improving combat effectiveness. Failures in Combat Identification can result in deaths and injuries from friendly fire (deaths from friendly fire are also known as fratricide), civilian casualties, reduced operational tempo as well as damage to civilian property and infrastructures. The Department aims to minimise the risk of fratricide without substantially slowing down operations which could increase the length of the conflict and result in more deaths from enemy fire. The Department expects that future operations will mainly be conducted in coalition with allies. This makes Combat Identification more complex as it requires interoperability of equipment and harmonisation of tactics and practices. The Committee of Public Accounts first reported on the Department's efforts to improve Combat Identification in 2002. Since then the Department has made little progress in addressing the Committee's recommendations. There is no single equipment solution to effective Combat Identification. The Department has in train a number of equipment programmes that aim to improve Combat Identification by enhancing awareness of the location of people and equipment on the battlefield. The Department has also made firm investment decisions on a number of other projects which will, in part, contribute to better Combat Identification -- the Battlefield Target Identification System -- has also suffered considerable delays while the Department tries to scope a solution which will allow us to operate effectively with out allies, notably the United States. A decision on a Battlefield Target Identification has still not been made despite assurances from the Department and the development of a successful prototype in September 2001. In April 2004, the Department appointed a Senior Responsible Owner to act as a champion for Combat Identification. He does not, however, have any budgetary or line management responsibility or other direct authority. He directs work to support improvements to Combat Identification and represents Combat Identification requirements and issues within the Department. There were six deaths during Operation TELIC caused by friendly fire. The Department's Boards of Inquiry have investigated each of these and concluded that they were caused by a mixture of technical factors, failures in communication and procedures and issues related to doctrine and training. However, there were considerable delays in the time the Department took to conclude the findings and make them publicly available. The Department has made some progress in improving its data collection of friendly fire incidents and has created a database of them. Data from friendly fire type incidents that occur during training exercises and simulations can also provide useful insights. The Department has introduced better procedures for recording incidents that occur during training although it has not yet begun to analyse this information. On the basis of a Report from the Comptroller and Auditor General, we took evidence from the Department on three main issues: progress on equipment projects to improve Combat Identification; Operation TELIC; and data collection.

This book was released on 2006-03-03 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat identification is the way military personnel distinguish friend from foe and non-combatants during operations; it is complex and spans all the military environments (land, maritime and air). The NAO was asked by the chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts to review progress made in combat identification capability, and lessons learned from recent operations, following the NAO 2002 report (HC 661, session 2001-02, ISBN 0102914362) and the Committee of Public Account's (PAC) recommendations (56th report, HC 759, session 2001-02, reproduced in an appendix here). The review finds that the Ministry of Defence has made progress in developing policy and tactics, techniques and procedures, improving data collection, giving greater recognition to human factors through, for example, new training courses, and developing solutions with some new equipment fielded for Operation TELIC (Iraq). Specific recommendations for further progress are: full implementation of the PAC recommendations; develop a strategy for introducing a revised policy; continue to focus on gaining agreement between principal allies on compatible technology and tactics, techniques and procedures to improve future coalition combat identification capability; improvement in management of the collation and analysis of fratricide data.
Book Synopsis Human Factors Issues in Combat Identification by : Robert P Herz
Download or read book Human Factors Issues in Combat Identification written by Robert P Herz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book presents an array of approaches on how human factors theory and research addresses the challenges associated with combat identification. Special emphasis is placed on reducing human error that leads to fratricide, which is the unintentional death or injury of friendly personnel by friendly weapons during an enemy engagement. Although fratricide has been a concern since humans first engaged in combat operations, it gained prominence during the Persian Gulf War. To reduce fratricide, advances in technological approaches to enhance combat identification (e.g., Blue Force Tracker) should be coupled with the application of human factors principles to reduce human error. The book brings together a diverse group of authors from academic and military researchers to government contractors and commercial developers to provide a single volume with broad appeal. Human Factors Issues in Combat Identification is intended for the larger human factors community within academia, the military and other organizations that work with the military such as government contractors and commercial developers as well as others interested in combat identification issues including military personnel and policy makers.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defense Science Board Task Force was formed to review the current state of combat Identification as well as to act as Senior Advisors to the DoD Combat ID Study. Although we looked at the individual developments now underway and under consideration, we spent most of our effort on trying to gain a broad understanding of the nature of combat ID in order to reach conclusions about what should be done. Our basic conclusion is that there is no crisis in combat ID calling for extraordinary action. Fratricide is a serious long term problem which can never be entirely prevented but which must be reduced to a practical minimum in any given situation. There is a tradeoff between the need to attack a dangerous enemy and the need to avoid attacking friends and neutrals. The real need is to minimize casualties while attaining military objectives, and minimum casualties is usually not the same as minimum fratricide. This familiar problem is now receiving increased attention, however, due to changes in the nature of expected conflicts, including highly mobile joint service operations, limited conflicts with reduced tolerance for both military and civilian casualties, and long-range highly lethal weapons. Combat ID does not result from a single device or process but results from the combination of many sources. Knowledge about the location and activities of friendly and enemy forces (situational awareness) comes from plans, reports, surveillance (often enhanced by distinctive uniforms and insignia) and necessarily includes identification. New technology for surveillance, processing, navigation, and networking is greatly increasing our ability to create and distribute accurate, timely situational information smoothing out the difference between situational awareness and combat ID.

Book Synopsis The Role of JSTARS in Combat Identification by :
Download or read book The Role of JSTARS in Combat Identification written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fratricide remains one of the most challenging problems of the modern battle space. Fratricide incidents have occurred in every major conflict in history and continue to increase. The fratricide fatality rate was significantly high during Desert Storm in 1991, the most recent major conflict involving offensive joint air and ground forces. Despite specific attention to this problem during a short war in which joint forces had an overwhelming combat advantage, the fratricide rate was an alarming 24%. Consequently, fratricide has remained a priority issue for the military throughout this decade. This monograph suggests that current efforts to minimize fratricide have focused too exclusively on technological solutions. There is a severe lack of integration and synchronization efforts within this technology explosion, particularly for the surface-to- surface and air-to-surface mission areas. Since there are diverse technologies within the independent services that must operate jointly in the battle space, a systemic approach is critical. After an examination of the joint air identification system, the monograph concludes that it is successful because it is an integrated network of air and ground elements that each contribute to a synergistic product, a single integrated air picture. AWACS, as a centralized battle management radar platform, performs a unique role in this network. This monograph demonstrates that JSTARS is capable of performing a similar role for the surface environment. JSTARS has the capability to develop and disseminate common pictures, at both tactical and operational levels. JSTARS can figure prominently in support of attack operations. JSTARS is a critical fusion platform that begins the melding process of the separate surface and air pictures into a common joint awareness.

Book Synopsis Deep Maneuver by : Jack D Kern Editor
Download or read book Deep Maneuver written by Jack D Kern Editor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 5, Deep Maneuver: Historical Case Studies of Maneuver in Large-Scale Combat Operations, presents eleven case studies from World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom focusing on deep maneuver in terms of time, space and purpose. Deep operations require boldness and audacity, and yet carry an element of risk of overextension - especially in light of the independent factors of geography and weather that are ever-present. As a result, the case studies address not only successes, but also failure and shortfalls that result when conducting deep operations. The final two chapters address these considerations for future Deep Maneuver.
Book Synopsis The Other End of the Spear by : John J. Mcgrath
Download or read book The Other End of the Spear written by John J. Mcgrath and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.

Book Synopsis The Evolution of US Army Tactical Doctrine, 1946-76 by : Robert A. Doughty
Download or read book The Evolution of US Army Tactical Doctrine, 1946-76 written by Robert A. Doughty and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.
Book Synopsis Tactical Display for Soldiers by : National Research Council
Download or read book Tactical Display for Soldiers written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-01-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the human factors issues associated with the development, testing, and implementation of helmet-mounted display technology in the 21st Century Land Warrior System. Because the framework of analysis is soldier performance with the system in the full range of environments and missions, the book discusses both the military context and the characteristics of the infantry soldiers who will use the system. The major issues covered include the positive and negative effects of such a display on the local and global situation awareness of the individual soldier, an analysis of the visual and psychomotor factors associated with each design feature, design considerations for auditory displays, and physical sources of stress and the implications of the display for affecting the soldier's workload. The book proposes an innovative approach to research and testing based on a three-stage strategy that begins in the laboratory, moves to controlled field studies, and culminates in operational testing.
