Parent topics
- Artillery [r]: Large-calibre guns used in land-based warfare; also the term for an armed forces branch trained in its use. [e]
- Fire direction [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
- 155mm howitzer [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Gun [r]: Either a general term for firearm, or a type of artillery with a relatively long barrel with respect to caliber, giving the projectile a fairly flat trajectory [e]
- Howitzer [r]: Add brief definition or description
- M109 howitzer [r]: A family of self-propelled 155mm howitzers developed by the U.S. Army [e]
- Mortar [r]: A piece of artillery, sometimes light enough to be carried by infantry, which has a short barrel length relative to the shell caliber, and fires in a high indirect trajectory, often desirable to fire over obstacles. [e]
- Multiple rocket launcher [r]: In modern use, a family of mobile artillery systems, firing unguided rockets intended for area-effect coverage, complementing howitzers for point targets. These systems, however, increasingly use guided rounds. [e]
- Direct fire [r]: A military term for battlefield weapons fired with a direct line of sight on their target; projectile weapons actually fire in a parabolic trajectory that approximates a straight line for short distances [e]
- Guided shell [r]: A piece of artillery ammunition that can alter its course after being fired. [e]
- Precision-guided munition [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Vertical launch [r]: Add brief definition or description
