Battlespace geometry (BSG) is a non-doctrinal term that refers to the art of deconflicting various
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




organic weapons systems while mitigating the effects of threat capabilities by plotting and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




understanding the interrelatedness among several elements. || || || || ||




These elements are: - ✔✔Threat rings
|| || || || ||




Gun target lines
|| ||




Surface danger zones || ||




Minimum safe distances || ||




Threat Rings - ✔✔Threat rings are the planning ranges in which an enemy can engage friendly
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




forces. They determine friendly forces' vulnerabilities to each enemy weapon system.
