Navy Advanced Gun System Scenario: Asymmetric Warfare



Uploaded by: AdvGunSys
Video Description:
Advanced Gun System (AGS) Employment in Asymmetric Warfare Simulation Scenario
The threat of asymmetric warfare is widespread, is well supported, and is challenging our nations ability to effectively react on the 21st century battlefield. As our military forces and resources respond, the ability to deliver precision and volume fires will be an essential element in supportin
g world wide operations against emerging threats to our security. The navy's future surface combatant, the DDX, with its two Advanced Gun Systems (AGS) will be the premier naval fire support system for the littoral battlefield. This video is not just an animation; it's a demonstration of the Real
Time engineering level model of the AGS design and capabilities from turret to target. The Advanced Gun System (AGS), a transformational weapon system designed to meet and defeat both conventional and asymmetric threats to our nation's security. DD(X) was also known as DD-21, and is now the DDG
-1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer. Publicly released video, October 2002

This video was made ... ( 1 year ago by AdvGunSys)
This video was made in 2001, made public in 2002. The quality is proportional to the year.
It is not a rendered animation; it's an engineered model of the AGS design and capabilities visualized in real-time. This is not a game with simplified stuff emmulating reality for entertainment, this is real-life control and design simulated in real-time. Its not about the "crappy video", its a
bout the capability of the system, and to envision and execute scenarios with it.

Ha - see video at 2:30 - in the future, soldiers will wear striped footy socks... sorry, good video all the same. It's a shame though how expensive conventional war weapons have to be sold as useful in asymmetric war. Looking at this, it should say "the NAGS hits a city street and a village an enemy convoy is driving through- MEANWHILE, the relatives of the innocent people killed vow revenge against the US"

firepower, is just as usefull in asymmetric warfare as it is in conventional. I just hope that this wont be a downgrade of naval artillery, seeing as how they are getting rid larger guns.

Interesting. So they've adapted the Excalibur artillery shells I heard about in Future Weapons for naval use. Brutal O_o
Warhips try to ... ( 1 year ago by KlubMarcus)
Warhips try to avoid firing forward with their main guns. Watch footage of gunfire from all eras, they prefer to fire to the side. Ships tend to rock side to side less than they do front to back because the bow is pointed into the waves while the ship moves forward.
The DD(X) class is ... ( 11 months ago by razrtip)
The DD(X) class is now known as Zumwalt class. The ship is probably not designed to fire forwards.
The Tumblehome wave piercing hull is built to reduce hull radar return and cut through waves. However there have been arguments over the stability on high seas in the Naval Architecture community. The ship would be additionally unstable by fring forwards. There is documentation on wikipedia whic
h is worth looking at.
The ship's forward ... ( 11 months ago by AdvGunSys)
The ship's forward gun can fire forwards, though it is probably unlikely to do so.
This is a 155 gun (similar to army artillery Paladin system). The ships stability is not an issue when the gun is fired. Think about it, the ship weighs over 10k tons, and though the firing is a major thing, its forces are nothing commpared to the mass of the ship.
Let's say that the ... ( 10 months ago by razrtip)
Let's say that the XM982 Excalibur shells are used. I'll estimate 7.5kg per shell. Muzzle velocity of 684ms-1. Ship mass of 1x10^7. I calculated a backwards velocity exerted on the ship of 5.13x10^-4 ms-1. This would add up to 51300Ns acting on the ship. If the ship were firing on high seas and already unstable due to the tidal motion, this would further unbalance the ship. (correct me if my calculations are wrong)

WOW, I'm sure Navy physicists never thought of THAT. And with WIKIPEDIA as your source, who can argue?

How about putting a fast acting targeting system on the shells, like a radar, or thermal targeting device? Then they could fire into a given AO, and allow the shell to target vehicles, and such, as it finds them...the will of the state is supreme...
Sorry, but none of ... ( 7 months ago by endrelunde)
Sorry, but none of the "threats" defeated here were so-called asymmetrical. This is standard force-on-force battle, massed firepower with significant risk of collateral damage. As some have flippantly said, the American approach is "if firepower does not work, you are not using enough." This ship represents the culmination of that thought. Neat toy though, but for most missions you could get something far cheaper to do much the same.
it's true that ... ( 6 months ago by acslater017)
it's true that they're not talking about terrorists attacking soft targets or things like that. but it's asymmetrical in that the enemy is apparently using guerilla tactics - hiding in the city with friendlies, constantly on the move, many small groups, etc. But you have a good point
your calculations ... ( 5 months ago by chikpunwing3791)
your calculations are wrong due to the fact that you do not use muzzle velocity to calculate force, you use acceleration. If the ship were 10k tons, that means its mass is 9*10^10 Kg. F=ma so force is 9*10^10 Kg times 9.8 acceleration downwards. that equals 8.9*10^11 Ns. No gun will have enough backwards force to noticeably destabilize a ship, especially a 155mm gun.
i did a wrong ... ( 5 months ago by chikpunwing3791)
i did a wrong calculation here too. the mass should be 9*10^6. and the force would be 8.9*10^7. Still a gigantic weight.

AWESOME! new tools to oppress and keep down the people of the world that want freedom and independence! WHOHO! It would make killing freedom loving people all over the world that much easier! All we need to develop now is a rapid McDonald and Starbucks deliverance system, capable of "saturating" population centers with unhealthy food and beverage. Let's go fatten up some skinny brown people!
