High Value Targeting (HVT) Against Insurgents and Terrorists
A high-payoff target, also known as an HPT, is a high-value target whose loss to the enemy will significantly contribute to the success of a friendly course of action. Also called HVT, the loss of high-value targets would be expected to seriously degrade important enemy functions throughout the friendly commander’s area of interest. The term has been widely used in the news media for Osama Bin Laden and …

Ramjet Powered Artillery Round can penetrate anti-access/area denial networks
One of the major lessons from Ukraine’s artillery war is that the side that can shoot farthest dominates the battlefield. According to the report, Russian howitzers are expending 20,000 shells daily on average, compared to 6,000 fired by Ukraine. The ratio for rocket artillery and ballistic-missile launches is even worse. …
