Abstract

This article presents a research initiative focused on developing innovative methods of meteorological preparation for artillery units. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has underscored the pivotal role of artillery for both sides, with its effectiveness hinging on fire accuracy-requiring compensation for multiple variables affecting projectile trajectory. Among these variables, meteorological conditions are paramount and have traditionally been assessed via upper-atmosphere sounding. However, current methods are susceptible to enemy interference, necessitating the autonomous acquisition of meteorological data by artillery units, even under degraded operational conditions. This research project proposes the development of an integrated predictive model that leverages historical meteorological data. Using this model, artillery units would be able to independently generate meteorological insights, eliminating the need for complex atmospheric sounding systems or reliance on external data sources. The article also outlines a proposed method for evaluating the model’s effectiveness, based on the General Preparation procedure used in artillery fire control.
