View source for Land Structure - Soft

A category of weapon target in the Command model.

A Land Structure is some type of physical object (e.g. building, bridge, tower, etc...)
emplaced on land.  It is stationary.  "Soft" structures are those that have *not* been
specifically reinforced by armor, concrete, or other construction methods and materials
to withstand explosive blasts.

Command uses the weapon target types to determine if a particular weapon and sensor 
system can engage a particular target.  For example, targets on land will often require
different sensors and processing than targets on water.  And, mobile targets will require
terminal sensors and guidance to bring the warhead to the target.

Command distinguishes the weapon target types into:

 Aircraft
 Helicopter
 Missile
 Submarine
 Surface Vessel
