Table 5-1. Considerations Affecting Comparisons

The WARRAMP process:

• Has an unconstrained supply of ammunition
• Has undegraded command, control, and communications (C3)
• Has state-of-the-art target acquisition capabilities
• Has state-of-the-art weapon and munition technology
• Always simulates theater densities of weapons and equipment

b. WARRAMP Rates versus Historical RTO. From Table 5-2 It can be seen that the most pronounced difference found in this comparison exists for 105mm/light tube types. The difference is greater at the 30-day rate than the 180-day rate. 155mm/medium rates compare more closely with AHART results, 203mm/heavy still closer. None, however, fall within the 95 percent confidence limits of a normal linear distribution.

* As a result of considerations in Table 5-1, WARRAMP rates should be expected to be less than average RTD.
