Will The U.S. Army Get Serious About Revolutionizing Long Range Fires? (From The National Interest)

If Russian integrated air defenses and massed missile and rocket batteries are to be defeated, it will take a new generation of U.S. long-range, high-speed, very precise weapons and projectiles. Systems over 100km are particularly important, as are those which provide a maneuvering warhead capability. One of the first jobs for Army missile and artillery systems deployed in Europe must be a saturation attack on the integrated air defense systems, opening the way for the Air Force and Navy to take the fight to the Russian Army. Remarkably, such systems exist and could be deployed in large number within a few years. That is, if the Army can maneuver around its own acquisition processes. I have written an article for The National Interest here.
