will be an automated decision aid which is now being developed. When completed, the decision aid will permit combat and training developers to project possible courses of development and "what if" drills for key FA projects and programs.
This Web Page contains three broad planning categories. The first category is a detailed assessment of the current state of Field Artillery. It identifies strengths and weaknesses of the FA system today, and it serves as the base case for analyzing future developments. It basically answers the question where are we now? The second category lays out conceptual considerations for the future. It proposes answers to the question where do we want to be? The third category contains the "meat and muscle" of the Roadmap, i.e. the developmental thrust lines which link the current state of the Field Artillery and the envisioned state of 2020, or how we plan to get to the future.
Links to Army and Joint Planning. The FA Roadmap supports the objectives of the Army Modernization Plan, e.g. project and sustain, protect the force, dominate maneuver, win the information war, and precision strike. It also tracks with the key pillars of the Joint Vision 2010: dominant maneuver, precision engagement, full dimensional protection, and focussed logistics.
