The changing battlefield has also forced a rethink of how guns survive. The Ukraine conflict has shown that a gun position can be located rapidly through UAVs, satellite imagery and electronic surveillance. Once detected, counter-battery fire can follow within minutes. The army’s answer is, therefore, not merely armour or camouflage. According to officials, counter-UAS systems are being procured for gun systems, while passive measures such as camouflage, concealment, dispersion and protective “cage” structures are being incorporated alongside changes in tactics, techniques and procedures.
