Army to tackle problems highlighted during War by Chuck Vinch Washington Bureau Washington a reducing casualties from a Friendly fire a improving Battlefield communications and upgrading night vision equipment Are some of the issues the  plans to attack m the aftermath of the persian Gulf War. Although the service is pleased with the performance of its weapons against the iraqis a senior service official acknowledged that not everything performed perfectly. A in fact the operation showed that in some areas there is much room for improvement a he said. One of the most important goals to be studied by the  in coming months is reducing casualties from Friendly fire which killed or wounded 18 . And 11 British troops. The two incidents that got the most attention involved an ah-64 Apache helicopter attacking a Bradley fighting vehicle with a hellfire missile killing two and injuring one and two a-10 aircraft rocketing a pair of British armoured scout vehicles killing nine. In a feb. 27 briefing in Riyadh saudi Arabia Allied commander Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf said a a there a no excuse for Friendly fire casualties although he acknowledged that he thought the total number was Low considering the massive number of troops and vehicles that were on the Battlefield. A based on the extremely complicated number of different Maneu vers that were being accomplished out Here the extreme diversity of forces that were out Here and the weather conditions and everything else i feel we were quite Lucky that we did not have More of this Type of incident a he said the  Materiel come has already convened a panel to study the problem. One potential solution is to devise a ground based identification Friend or foe sys tem similar to the one used by air Force pilots the senior  official said. The system uses radio transponders to Bounce signals off other aircraft and responding a a squeaks let pilots know whether the aircraft arc Friendly. But adapting it to ground use would mean solving what the  official called a a clutter  with dozens of ground vehicles swarming on the Battlefield even a modified aircraft Iff system might not be Able to sort out All the signals. One alternative is to use infrared strobes or markers to identify ground vehicles to Friendly aircraft and Heli copters. But that presents its own problems because infrared is useful Only at Short distances which would Render it ineffective for aircraft firing so called a a smart munitions from Long distances the official said. Another Issue on the  Agenda is improving night vision equipment for aviators. Early in the deployment the  had a series of incidents in which helicopter pilots flew too Low and crashed while using night vision gear. The problem was that the equipment which distinguishes contrasts Between various topographical features had precious Little to work with in the Flat Barren desert of the Middle East. But the  official said solving that problem May involve intensified training As much As hardware improvements. For example when the service implemented a rigorous training program and More cautious safety guidelines for pilots coming into the theater the Accident rate dropped noticeably the official said. The War also highlighted a Long standing problem with the Apache helicopters communications gear in which the aircraft a radios worked poorly or not at All under certain conditions especially when flying at terrain hugging Low altitudes. A a we re Well aware of the situation and we re continuing to work on it diligently a the official said a its just not something that we be been Able to fix yet.�?�. \ a amps Luke Britt Gabriele Thomas Center stands inside a Rhein main a hangar among gifts donated by the Swiss town org ii Ningen.
