The article gives a brief analysis of the state and prospects of developing guidelines for shooting and controlling the fire of ground artillery in the leading military armies of the world and the factors affecting the need for amendments and additions to the existing regulations of shooting and controlling the fire of ground artillery. According to the results of the analysis, it was established: the artillery units performed fire tasks not only with the classical tasks of firing (for example, suppression, destruction), but also with a specific task, which was to prohibit the enemy's goals (objects); specification of firing facilities was usually carried out with a help of a variety of laptops (tablets, mobile phones); the significant growth of the role of reconnaissance unmanned aviation complexes and radar stations of the counterattack fight in the system of intelligence and artillery services was determined; Artillery units returned a wide range of weapons and ammunition that had been taken out of storage, however, some systems lacked data on ammunition consumption to defeat unobserved targets; the determination of the norms of the cost of shells for defeat of targets (objects) was carried out only for specific indicators of the effectiveness of shooting for defeat - suppression and destruction, however, the experience of the military use of artillery units gives grounds to assert that the fire tasks of defeating unobserved targets with the cost of shells, which meets the objectives of shooting relief and destruction, as a rule, were not performed.
Based on the obtained conclusions, the directions of work on the development of amendments and additions to the Regulations of shooting and controlling the fire of ground artillery were determined and aimed to take into account the experience of fighting artillery in war conflicts, changes in the provision of artillery units with weapons and military equipment, changes in military guideline documents on combat use of artillery and the unification of the provisions of the regulations of shooting and controlling the fire of ground artillery.
At the same time, the proposed changes and additions are preceding, they are based on the analysis of the combat experience of the use of artillery units and are mostly theoretical. Therefore, providing the introduction of these amendments and additions to the firing regulations and the management of ground artillery, further research should conducted and should include the practical testing of the Regulations of shooting and controlling the fire of ground artillery both in the troops and during pilot firings.
