Plukovník Ing. Ivan Mráz, Ph.D., podplukovník gšt. Ing. Milan Kalina

The fire support is an inevitable prerequisite for the success of combat forces in land military operations and artillery is its key provider. Will it be even in a future complex and uncertain operating environment? The article recalls high requirements on the current ACR artillery and with the use of the Alliance partner's findings, it points to selected aspects that might influence its capabilities development towards the future operations. The article defines artillery as an indirect fire system and clarifies its role and tasks in the framework of joint fire support. It proposes measures to increase the quality of its training and management. It discusses the issue of an operational concept and its importance for the future ACR artillery, together with introducing main trends in areas of its potential development.

Keywords: Combat employment of artillery, indirect fire system, fire support, coordination, development of military capabilities, future military operations, Army, tube artillery, mortar units, artillery battalion, artillery formation.
