Naval Gunfire Support (NGFS) refers to the use of naval artillery to provide fire support for ground forces during military operations. This support is typically delivered from ships positioned offshore, using large-caliber guns to target enemy positions, fortifications, or troop concentrations. NGFS is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of ground troops, especially in coastal or amphibious operations. The effectiveness of NGFS relies on accurate targeting and coordination with ground forces. Naval ships equipped with advanced targeting systems can adjust their fire based on real-time intelligence and communication with forward observers on land. This ensures that the artillery strikes are precise and minimize collateral damage while maximizing support for friendly forces.
