Popis: In order to meet the operational requirements of modern naval warfare, naval ships are equipped with growing types and quantities of weapons, but their overall combat effectiveness has not increased correspondingly. The reason is that different shipborne weapon systems have overlapping fields of fire on the relatively narrow ship platform, thus interfering with each other, which seriously endangers the ship safety. Therefore, it is critical to solve the major problem of firepower compatibility, namely, how to turn from increasing the firepower density of shipborne weapons to improving the strike-defense capabilities of the ship. Firepower compatibility is an important technology to give full play to the overall combat effectiveness of the weapon systems in the complex environment of the ship platform under the principle of ensuring the ship and crew safety. This paper summarizes the theoretical basis of the firepower compatibility technology of operations research, including the design of the intrinsic field of fire, fixed safety field of fire and active safety field of fire, and collates information about the development of the firepower compatibility technology for conventional weapons, such as firepower compatibility between conventional weapons and ship deck facilities, and firepower compatibility between conventional weapons. The firepower compatibility technology for conventional weapons contains four methods: firepower compatibility priority analysis, firepower conflict judgment for the satefty distance of vertically fired weapons, firepower conflict judgment for the safety distance of inclined revolving weapons and airspace resources occupation. The advantages and disadvantages of the above four operations research methods are compared and analyzed to obtain their commonalities and key points for improvement. In terms of the differences between the directed-energy weapons and conventional weapons, this paper introduces the technical characteristics and advantages of directed-energy weapons and compares the possible solutions to firepower compatibility of the two catagories of weapons. Then the key firepower compatibility technologies for directed-energy weapons are discussed and analyzed from three aspects: the construction of the cone of fire, firepower conflict judgment and dynamic firepower compatibility control. Finally, the paper points out the key and difficult problems in the firepower compatibility technology for directed-energy weapons, gives where research breakthroughs can be made in this area, and maps out the next development plan for this technology.
