  Fire Alarm Systems
A fire alarm is a bell, klaxon, chime, horn, speaker, strobe, or other device which warns people in a building of a possible fire.
Fire alarms may be triggered automatically by smoke detectors, heat sensors or manually.
Fire alarm systems consist of a central control panel to which smoke detectors are connected, along with bells or horns that are activated when the system triggers an alarm.

Modern artillery is distinguished by its large caliber, firing an explosive shell or rocket, and being of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
Recoilless - A tube fired weapon with a breech designed to perforate a bursting disk at firing, and permit a mass of burnt propellant gases with momentum equal to the projectile to exit from the rear of the barrel, to prevent recoil from affecting the weapon.

 Artillery - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Modern artillery is distinguished by its large calibre, firing an explosive shell or rocket, and being of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
Because artillery is an indirect fire weapon, the forward observer must take up a position where he can observe the target using tools such as binoculars and laser range finders and designators and call back fire missions on his radio.
When an effect similar to that of MRSI is achieved using separate batteries of traditional artillery, using varying fuses to account for the variant distances or trajectories to cause all shells to detonate on the target at the same time, it is called TOT (Time On Target).

 :: ONF :: Images of a Forgotten War - Artillery: The Great Killer
Gunners fired their shells to create a “creeping” wall of fire that slowly moved forward over the enemy lines at fixed intervals: 50 yards (46 m) every couple of minutes, less for muddy ground, more for open warfare.
Although friendly fire was expected and occurred, the casualties would still be lighter than if the creeping barrage moved off and allowed German machine -gunners, waiting in the safety of deep dugouts, to get to the top of their trenches before the infantry crossed nNo Mman’s lLand.
They had fired tens of millions of shells, reducing the landscape to a desolate wasteland, and an estimated 60% of all wounds were inflicted by shell fire.

Battery, link to Razor One," he waited while the central fire control computer adjusted the aim of all six tubes.

 Counter Battery Firemission Completed! - Total Battlefield 2 Forums
One artillery weapon area firing in the general direction of the enemy will not be effective.
"Following the shot" may be visually exciting to a child firing artillery but is totally destructive to the gunner who desires to place the round on target using error correction to finish the target.
The best way to remove enemy artillery is to have your artillery FIND IT when it is on the march to it's chosen firing point and kill it before it slaughters a whole bunch of your teammates and stops your entire team's attack in it's tracks.

Mortars fire relatively small-calibre projectiles in a high arc against targets concealed from the view of the firer.
Other battlefield artillery battlefield includes longer-range weapons that fire in a flatter arc - the target may or may not be in view of the firer.
Modern field artillery is often self-propelled (permanently mounted in a carriage or vehicle capable of moving independently) in order to move quickly from one firing position to another - to both support the fluid nature of modern combat and to avoid 'counter-battery fire'.

Kill or be killed, a guy fires at you, you die, you seek vengeance, you fire on him, he dies, he seeks vengeance.
As a counter-suggestion: Say a piece of mobile arty fires 2-3 shells from the same position/roughly the same position.
The radar should be operated by one man, that than gives the position of the hostile arty to his teams arty (or counter battery missiles).

Major problem among quite a few others as was stated in the last thread is this turns into a fire fight just between artillery the entire map.
I like that counter battery radar idea very much.
Shell radar is good, thats definatly something that would work really well in PoE, but an automated counter-rocket strike isn't going to fit into that kind of gameplay.

LVIS fires 300 10-nanosecond pulses a second, with a receiving system that acquires the reflections from the pulses from the top of the forest canopy, the forest floor, and levels of the canopy in between.
The difference in timing between the first reflections and the last gives the height of the canopy, with the pattern of reflections also providing data on vegetation density and condition.
To obtain a range reading, MOLA fired a laser pulse with a duration of about 8 picoseconds, and then timed the interval required for the pulse to be reflected off the Martian surface, using a 50 centimeter diameter telescope to observe the pulse.
