Record 2 1995-01-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sea Operations (Military)
CONT

In the past this made sense: for as long as warships have existed, detection range has roughly matched the range of naval weapons and remote designation was impractical due to communication problems.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Opérations en mer (Militaire)
CONT

Tradition explicable car jusqu'à l'ère du missile, la portée de détection des navires a toujours été à peu près homogène avec la portée de leurs armes et que par ailleurs, la télédésignation se heurtait à des problèmes de télécommunications.
