In the future, even low-ranked infantry officers will be able to directly request aerial movements through fighter jets, which lately have to go through an incredibly complex and time-consuming chain of command; deploy small explosive “suicide drones”; or order an artillery shell to destroy a target.
In a task known as “Smart Trigger”, wartime commanders will be able to mark an attack target on a virtual map connected to an army network, at which point a complex set of PC rules will be the ideal way to get to the site.based on 3 criteria: efficiency, availability and cost.
Using map location knowledge, an F-16 fighter plane can fire a guided missile at the target, a howitzer several kilometers away can launch a projectile, or a street infantry platoon can be ordered to attack. the place.
While it might seem simple, achieving an airstrike is an incredibly confusing task, requiring a deep understanding of the functions and limitations of Air Force munitions.As such, bringing this capability directly to the battlefield requires extensive education on the To Begin component, in the coming years, the army will certify 18 crews, known as Sufa or Storm teams, after the army’s designation for the F-16 fighter, to be distributed within the Golani and Givati infantry.brigades, has learned The Times of Israel.
In addition to bringing those roles to junior officers, senior officers will also get upgraded weapons under the Momentum plan.For example, battalion commanders will have directly on an arsenal of ground-to-ground missiles that they can lead against enemy targets.
While the army seeks its ability to attack the enemy, it has also largely focused on the growing challenge of locating the enemy.
The terrorist teams with which Israel is as much as possible to fight in the next war – Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza – have a long history and a great fondness for internal fighting and in tunnels under densely populated civilian areas, which is a huge IDF challenge.
To succeed on this challenge, the IDF is making a big investment in reasonable and easy-to-get sensors that can be implemented on a battlefield, first through humans and then through robots, as well as in much more expensive PC systems capable of interpreting the knowledge produced through those devices.With a relatively affordable sensor on the outer wall of a building, infantry soldiers on the floor can see what’s happening inside or directly below them.
Some infantry soldiers will also be trained in the war of the rudimentary electromagnetic spectrum, learning to use devices to stumble upon electronic signals in order to hunt down fighters and enemy positions.
To involve the phantom unit and lead the IDF floor forces revolution, the army created a new division, the 99th Division, which would emerge in the coming years, while the 99th Division will be under the command of the floor forces, who are officially guilty of preparing sets for combat, commanding them in combat.
Once the department is fully established, which is expected to be in 2023 or 2024, the department will be transferred to one of the army’s 3 regional commandos: north, central or south.
In addition to the ghost unit, the 99th Division will come with the Command Brigade, the 646th Reserve Paratrooper Brigade, the 179th Reserve Armored Brigade and the Kfir Brigade.
The Kfir Brigade is not lately a full-fledged “superior” infantry brigade in the same way as the other 4 army infantry brigades (Golani, Givati, Nahal, paratroopers). As a component of the Momentum plan, the Kfir Brigade will be switched to such a unit, offering it with an armored worker transport corps, equipping its fighters with advanced weaponry and flying one of its battalions.
