Военно-морская школа последипломного образования, Монтерей, Калифорния, США (Naval postgraduate school), 2002. -120 с. (на англ. яз.).The U.S. Army is beginning to field the first of six Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCTs) and equip the organic Anti-Tank (AT) Company of the Brigade with the LAV III Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) Platform and the Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided 2B (TOW 2B) missile system. A developmental effort is currently underway to replace the aging TOW 2B and Hellfire missile systems with a common missile that meets both ground and air requirements.With increased range, lethality, and target acquisition capability, the Common Missile (CM) is being designed as the primary weapon system for the Army’s Comanche helicopter and is a candidate for the lethality system of the Future Combat System (FCS) within the Army’s Objective Force.Additionally, the CM is designed to be backwards compatible with existing TOW 2B and Hellfire launch platforms.The objective of this research effort is to determine the increase in operational effectiveness through the employment of the CM in the AT company of the SBCT in three different scenarios, using the high-resolution Janus Combat Model.Operational effectiveness will be assessed and statistically analyzed using lethality, survivability, and engagement range for three measures of effectiveness (MOEs).Contents:
