ARCHER Shoot and Scoot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2020
- The modern battlefield is characterized by a multitude of threats and challenges. In order to improve survivability, combat units must be able to work together effectively. The tasks of the artillery may include preparation fire over long distances, suppressing fire, and being able to follow fast-moving ground forces for several days. Fast emplacement and displacement is crucial for delivering fire support when needed, as well as avoiding counter-battery fire. BAE Systems' Archer needs less than 30 seconds from the time the operators receive a call for fire, to stop the vehicle, position for action, and fire the first round. Less than 30 seconds after the mission is accomplished, Archer is on the move again. Archer can get into place, fire six rounds, displace, and move 500m in less than two minutes, while the crew remains in an armored cabin.
The combination of Archer’s features sets it apart from other artillery systems: The superior range; high rate of fire; rapid emplacement and displacement; mobility; crew work environment; and safety, to name a few. Parts of the Archer capabilities may feature in other systems out there, but bring together the full portfolio of capabilities to the warfighter in one single system the way Archer does.

Now that's a proper drive-by
Maybe one would call this hit and run
@@jari2018 Or a run and hit, since it drives away before the first impact.
@@King_Harlaus actually what will happen in the future - radar will pick up the shots and launch a loitering ammo itself and with advanced computers there are so much roads or places it can be or going to next
@@King_Harlaus Just a pity that the Ukrainians didn't have this a few years ago to deal with that BUK missile launcher and command post across the border that shot down that Malaysian airliner.
😅
This is especially impressive for mobility. Artillery shooting, then disappearing, and shooting again, and again moving. Impossible to locate from this far and to aim back and shoot.
Self-propelled guns have existed since World War II. The wheelbase problem is road traffic only. Funnels on the road - and everything will stop.
Fuel
@@vadimlvs You think this system is road traffic only?! Hahah!
That's where you get it wrong. Artillery radar will detect incoming munitions, however with the speed of this weapon system (deploying e t c), by the time you have fired on the suspected area the Archer is gone.
TL;DR The enemy will locate the possible firing position but they relocate before they are hit by counter-artillery.
There is a difference.
@Mathias Heat seeking? Enlighten me if you can
But yeah, the Armenia - Azerbaijan war showed us how useless any system is without being in an AA bubble.
whats even more impressive is that the Archer system has a special firing mode in which it fires consecutive rounds in decreasing angles of inclination while adjusting the propellant load, causing up to 4-5 shells to impact almost simultaneously in the single target area. Crazy hail of death that is
True. The new Indian AMAGS (ATAGS MGS) is also capable of doing the same thing. Its called Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI). Now imagine this: a single Artillery Regiment has around 18 of these howitzers. If they all fire a 5-round MRSI simulatenously, imagine the effect on the target end:-
One second everything is fine. Next second 90 155mm H.E. shells explode simultaneously around you. And this capability will soon be available to almost every Brigade Commander in the Himalayas. Chinese soldiers gonna' $hit their pants.
Swedish genius 🙌
@@death_parade nobody cares about india tho
@@niko7626 The amount of megalomania you have to be under to believe that your uninformed personal opinions represent "everybody" is rather impressive.
Lets just take the number of people this affects directly: India, China, Pakistan and Bangladesh. These four alone have 41% of the world's population. And this is just the direct impact of ATAGS MGS. Second order effects such as reduction in NATO and Quad nations' threat perception, lost revenue for Western, Israeli and Russian Arms Manufacturers is not even included in this figure. Include that and its almost the whole world that is impacted by this one weapon system.
@@death_parade You indians lost all true respect when you said your arjun is like one of the best mbt's in the world.... You did yourselfs dirty and nobody... like literally nobody outside of india and your neighboring countries has any interest in some piece of indian military equipment.
its rather the megalomaniac you have to be, to believe you can use some YT-video as some sort of partiotic propaganda is actually mindblowing.
So in recap: nobody cares about some indian piece of military hardware-> the west has better equipment anyways

The Archer was already on the move just before the first impact! This will change how we perceive artillery in the future.

This is a simple but impressive way of showing the effectivity of this system. Can't argue with real numbers and video evidence.
Never messed around with Sweden Archer. Self loaded long range artillery. I think one of the best.

Very impressive. Essentially relatively immune to radar based counter battery file. However subject to drone or aircraft reconnaissance and attack or directed counter battery fire. Each howitzer unit should hopefully be accompanied by an anti-air unit - guns and missiles. All in all very impressive.
Soon everything will have anti drone or die we shall see
@@gardenstate732 A drone is nothing else but a small, slow aircraft. Mid sized drones emit enough heat for latest generation heat seakers and most of them can be detected by radar.
Most drones constantly emit radio signals, future AA systems will be able to quickly identify and track these emissions to hunt down the drone. Drones are not immortal and countermeasures will only get better in the future.
Maybe there will even be kamikaze drones that are able to autonomously hunt down other drones and to destroy them by collision or by exploding nearby.

The ultimate road rage solution. I've been told the one weak point in this artillery vehicle is it has only two cup holders and 8-track.

Very impressive, Sweden has a history of producing fast-shooting artillery, starting with the "bandkanon" that was the largest and fastest firing recoil-operated 155mm artillery for years!.
I think it still is the fastest firing ever made? I could be wrong
@@peterohanraha-hanrahan5097 it still is indeed

Thank you, Sweden!
Operated by only 2-4 people, even 1 single person can handle it all in extreme cases, everything is heavily automated. The crew never has to leave the armor protected cabin during the whole shoot-and-scoot process, they have *everything* they need to remain inside the protection for 24 hours non-stop operation. The information technology system is créme de la créme, perfect situation awareness, networked with other units and acting fully coordinated like as a single unit. Normal standard NATO explosive grenades, the Bofors BONUS grenade, the Bofors EXCALIBUR grenade. And more to come. Very fast, flexible and powerful. 🙂
Huh, I always thought these were just some fictional self-propelled artillery vehicles dreamt up for a game. I had no idea these actually exist and perform exceedingly well. Feeling a little nostalgic I had just recently reinstalled and have been playing Tom Clancy's: Endwar again, where most of the combat vehicles presented are completely fictional but feature or showcase weapon systems or design concepts that were or are currently still in development. This is due to the near-future setting (at the time of it's release) of a third world war breaking out between the U.S., the Russian Federation as well as the "European Commonwealth" in the year 2020. The Archer is the artillery unit deployed by the European Commonwealth military, the so-called "Enforcer Corps."
That game aged well...
@@kokiruchi almost like Tom climbed the tree a little higher than most and wrote what he saw coming...
You know, I often think about The Division ( 1 and 2 ) and if it wasn't Tom's final deathbed attempt to encode a pattern of thought into gamers minds to help them fight disinformation and government / big pharma abuse through what he saw was likely the next big attack on our species....
Tom Clancy’s EndWar was a great RTS game, very underrated. I enjoyed how Europe was had fastest vehicles and could beat their opponents to the capture points. Archer artillery x2 could destroy anything when paired with a spotting helo. 😂
@@rramos117 It is the only Xbox 360 game I still own. One of my best game ever. Highly underrated. My best faction are the enforcers.

From Sweden with anti-orc Fire Power 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇦
Amazing how the artillery has moved before the first round falls!
If it takes 54 seconds flight time for the first one to impact. Then it is approximately the same time for the enemy's counter battery fire. And then the ARCHER left over a minute ago and is 400 to 500 meters away.
That pretty much eliminates the chances of it being taken out by counter battery fire. Even a drone would have difficulty keeping up with that and it would only have a chance if it happened to be loitering in the vicinity, anyway.
the main reason it will dificult to hit them is because they are super rare
You dont stand a chance of counter battery fire, even with drone recon in advance. You would have to predict its firing point, which could be basically everywhere.
But thats exactly what drones do. They loiter.
@@newdefsys They can't be everywhere.
@@newdefsys the new loitering concept mean autonomous detection and selection of the targets
Proud to have welded parts for BAE, and my uncle used to build the test targets for missiles in Florida.
Cool, die Ukraine braucht tausend davon ☝️
That weapon was back on the move before the first round landed. Amazing. I was a Tanker in the Army and never had I seen one of those before.
As of today only 48 systems have been made, Sweden is very good a creating amazing systems. But massproduction is a thing we are not that good on.
@@Startrance666 Volvo, Saab, Ikea? Of course Sweden is good at mass production but only if there is a need and interrest for it. Norway and Sweden were working on this project together and the deal was that Sweden would have 24 and Norway would have 24, but due to delays, Norway backed out of the project and 2 years later Sweden had 48 of them.
That said, the Americans are very interested in this beast. So who knows if they will be mass produced? Ukraine wants these as well.
@@TemalCageman Most of Ikeas production is outside of Sweden.
@@Startrance666 Most of everyones products nowdays are international. Not sure what your point is? Ikea started back in 1943 and when expansions happen, you need to broader the horizon. That is why Ikea established itself in many countries in the world and by doing so, they could reap the benefits of producing certain things in a certain country that would then be used for the production line of a product.
EDIT: Not sure why I actually take time to answer an NPC that doesn't even dare to use the real name of him/herself.
Damn.... Like, DAMN! It's already packed up and on its way out before the first round hits! That's one impressive machine.
Even more impressive is that the target system can adjust the arc of each shot so that they all land on target at the exact same time. The first shot get a higher arc and takes longer than the next etc.
The best is : this can hit SAME target with 3 rounds in the SAME time - by adjusting trajectory
This never fails to impress me
The Swedish government and armed forces just announced that they are sending 50 CV90's, 90 NLAW's and a bit later an unspecified amount of Archers to Ukraine. 😤👍
It's hilarious that anyone thinks those numbers will have any effect. Like the 30-something tanks we are sending with outdated armor.
This demonstrates excellent survivability of this system.
this demontrate just the capacity to shoot on coordinate but where they get from is a mystery because they never show counterbattery radar able to delpoy in a minute
@@omnianti0 so you don’t think that the counter artillery radar is deployed over time to make sure that they snap up all the information of incoming artillery?
@@aceette5231 the problem or counter battery radar is they are slow to deploy and emit a lot of radiation that make them a more easier target than howitzers
@@omnianti0 Radars only emit radiation when they use the radar, it can still be deployed and ready to use the sensors…
@@aceette5231 ah ok you mean it detect artillery shell without emiting radiation
Everyone is (rightfully) impressed by the speed it sets up, fires and drives of.
But another important feature is the crew protection and the fact that you can do what you saw in the video with only 2 people. Noone needs to leave the cockpit. Everything is automated. 1 driver and 1 operator is all it takes, even though 3-4 crew is standard. In theory this mashine could be handled by 1 standalone guy, if he moves between the drivers seat and the firing controls. (Again without leaving the protection of the cockpit)
This would of course increase the time between parking --> firing --> leaving. But it isn't impossible.
You absolutely want to keep someone on the machine gun at all times, and in the driving seat as well
I Honestly thought it only had one guy up in the cab... though that's probably just a scale and angle of the vid that caused that
Respecting the fact that modern Counter Battery Radars need around 1-2 Minutes to safely locate a firing position, this is pretty much a game changer
Any source for this 1-2 minute figure? Is it for PESA Radars? Or are PESA faster? I know AESA radars would be a lot faster.

What is NOT shown is the additional vehicles needed for complete effectiveness.
1- 3 other archers to complete their team.
2- 2 fuel trucks
3- 3 ammo trucks
4- communications vehicle (if needed)
In total this system, though decent on its own. would be part of a 10-vehicle unit. One that you don't want to be facing off against.
Also not shown is the Fires Direction Channel team which in and of itself needs its own cluster of vehicles and logistics behind it, and you need forward observers (which if they're mounted as dedicated forward observers or integrated with infantry or cavalry require MORE vehicles and logistics) to get close enough to place the shot and watch the splash to make sure the round actually made it to the target.
This is still an absolutely magnificent and terrifying system however. Just have to make sure the supporting logistics elements are updated and kept up to speed too, which often in Western militaries just blatantly are not.
@@tylerjuarez9817 I agree that it is a very terrifying system, and also that it needs a lot of support to make it operate at full capacity. However, I can say that (depending on the country) your assertion about lock of logistic support is wrong.
New weapon system = new doctrine and training.
@@tylerjuarez9817 Western logistics arent up to date?
So, a normal artillery battery?
Don't forget the massive amounts of spare parts and mechanic labor needed when this thing gets produced with paper mache and cotton balls since it's already paid for in a contract
It is amazing that something that is moving so fast (the projectile) has such a long flight time.
They purposely give it a high arc so they can get multiple shots off before the first lands....you wouldnt use artillery against a moving target anyhow so time in flight isnt much of an issue
Archer shoots up to 50 kilometres distance.

It's even had a automatic 12,7 turret to protect it from enemy's infantry units

Swedes even invented the classic coca cola bottle, indian motorcycle and it was a swede that developed bronx in NY.

@@strangeman8062 On the way to Ukraine. We will have them in a couple of weeks.
No idea what kind of range we're talking about on the projected targets, but already getting back on the road and moving as the first rounds are landing is pretty impressive.
60 km with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M982_Excalibur
It sad 55/56 second to impact, Archer have a muzzle velocity of 700m/s (56 x 700 = 39200meters = 39.2 km), which mean it is about 40km away, in reality, with lag time and hang time, the range is probably closer, and bear in mind the max range for this artillery piece is around 55km to 60km with Excalibur round (Which I doubt they use them in this demo which explain the 40km range, as it is maxed out of base bleed), which mean if this system is deployed at the edge of range, it can probably fire 6 ot 7 rounds before the first one hit.
@@cosplayshopThat is just insane, what a fantastic system this is 👍🏻
So even before any potential counter battery fire has been fired (assuming no radar blips) the archer is moving. Well done.
Helt otroligt så snabbt det går! Jösses, det kan inte vara lätt att slå ut en sådan. Skjut och sen iväg innan ens första granaten har landat! Mer Archer åt folket! 😁😁😁
The fact it can move off just in time for the first shell to be hitting is unreal
You're welcome, Ukraine. Hope we get some good PR for the effort
yes, hopefully USA decides on buying this is it proves to produce results in the war, would be a massive win to our engineering industry!

Awesome
this effectively eliminates counter battery
I don’t know at what stage in the projectile parabola a modern counter battery system can detect and calculate point of origin, and I guess rocket assisted projectiles would be even harder to calculate, so you may well be correct.
@@PersonalityMalfunction Sound detectors and field radars are also used. But if it can move before the first shot lands it means it can evade anything that don't come from a lot closer
It certainly makes it much harder. However, offensive and defensive capabilities most often develop simultaneously. A counter-battery radar will begin tracking the trajectory as soon as it is visible and the counter-battery mission can be fired automatically in response long before impact. It will then depend on location and the length of the initial fire mission. You could also imagine counter-battery drones surveiling the battlefield from a high altitude, dropping a terminally guided projectile the moment an artillery trajectory starts.
@@Bot101101 in theory can counter attack...in reality it will be long gone :))
Most often that will probably be the case, yes. Far from every corner of the battfield is covered by counterbattery surveillance and in range for a strike. But defensive capabilities for fixed positions and spearhead units are something else. Today C-RAM systems can shoot down incoming artillery shells, something that was impossible only twenty years ago. Artillery huntng drones is also a real possibility.
Can't wait for Ukraine to get their hands on this as Sweden promised now happy days looks amazing 🙌
That thing was driving away before the first round even hit.
Deployed and fired 3 rounds and back on the road moving before the first round even made impact. That's awesome
From stop to shot (one shell) with the old 77B we did it under 40 secs, this is faster, safer, less manpower and more effective especially in bad terrain.

You cannot simply jam from that distance let alone predicting where it's going to land then setting up jammers there. Setting up jammers everywhere isn't realistic either. Yes, it is expensive, but of course this does not replace traditional artillery shells. As a military planner you want to be able to have that option to conduct high precision strikes so having a few of these isn't a bad thing. Making the comparison against traditional artillery/shells is just not the right thing. This is in a class of it's own
