“Place where I worked up until June 2023 (developers of was looking at putting a SAR (mapping) radar on an 155mm shell. A scout shell would map the target area, identify targets such as tanks and AAA assets, and the follow up volley of precision weapons would take them out. The follow up volley can be fired while the scout is still mapping.”
A stealth glider could take a quiet look around instead of a noisy warning shell being sent off.
“tanks”
Colonel, it could be a tank covered with green balloons or a used car with tank tread tires under remote control covered with green balloons.
We didn’t test countermeasures, like tanks disguised as school buses, either. But modern sensors definitely increase the range and lethality of ordinance. A 155mm artillery shell can be an autonomous (i.e., “smart”) drone.
