Effects

Modern radar has had two major impacts on field artillery. The first is that it can accurately "trace" fire from enemy artillery back to their firing location. The second is to better aim their own artillery to return fire more quickly and accurately. While increasing the technical sophistication of indirect fire weapons (including the support personnel required to maintain such high tech devices), it has also increased their flexibility. Radar has enabled the precise targeting of enemies at any time of day, in any weather condition.
